Is this setup safe?
Is this setup safe?
Motherboard = Asus Tuf Gaming B450-Plus
RAM = 2x8 Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz cl16
Cooler = Xigmatek Whizz 4 Heat Pipe
PSU = Xigmatek X-Power 650W 80 plus
Using asus optimal is fine since I faced CPU-heavy games before. The 1.4 v 3850 MHz setup is safe? Idle temps = 30-40 on game temps = 40-50 Prime95 = 50-60
Note = Occasionally the system crashes in Prime95 and processor-intensive games, though temperatures stay good. Unknown if it's a problem, but it happens very rarely.
Hi there,
It seems you're not applying the correct test for Prime95. You should be performing small FFTs instead. This method will accurately show the maximum temperature at a specific voltage. Normally, when you stress the CPU with 1.4v, it would push temperatures much higher than expected. This suggests you might be running a different prime test, which could explain the crash under load. Your OC appears to be unstable. AMD states that running at 1.4v is acceptable for long-term OC, but I think your Vcore should be lower than your VID. For instance, my 1600x model has a VID of 1.375 with a Vcore of 1.3. It's stable during testing—3.9 hours on Prime95 small FFTs over 8 hours.

It seems you're not applying the correct test for Prime95. You should be performing small FFTs instead. This method will show the maximum temperature at a specific voltage. Normally, when you stress the CPU, it would reach 80°C even higher with 1.4V. That suggests you're running a different prime test, which is why it crashes under load. Your OC might be unstable. AMD says it's fine to run at 1.4V for long-term OC, but I think your Vcore should be lower than your VID. For instance, my 1600x has a VID of 1.375 and a Vcore of 1.3. It's stable during 8 hours of Prime95 small FFT testing at 3.9°C.
I made a mistake, but I completed the calculation.

I increased the speed because I can't afford a new chip, so I'm using the ASUS optimal setting since I'm not familiar with overclocking. If the voltage isn't an issue for me, it's a positive sign. I don't want my motherboard or processor to stop working.
Temps seem okay, roughly where they should be. You should run Prime for at least an hour. For the first hour, there is a bit of voltage 'creep'. It slowly ticks up, but after an hour you should have your max temp. Here's a guide to OC your CPU: https://forums. The auto Asus feature is not the best way. If you read this guide, you will be able to manually OC your system, and get better results.
