Looking for assistance with overclocking a Ryzen 1600?
After reviewing some YouTube tutorials, I attempted to overclock my Ryzen 1600. I adjusted the settings as follows: CPU frequency set to 3900 with a 39 multiplier (3.9GHz), CPU voltage at 1.4 volts, DRAM enabled with XMP profile 1 at 2400MHz and 1.35 volts. After making these changes, I restarted my PC, which booted successfully and confirmed the overclock in the CPU zone. Then I tried benchmarking with Cinebench, but the screen went black during the run. The CPU was running but no output appeared, so I had to shut it down immediately using the power switch. I repeated this process a few times without success. The CPU temperature stayed within normal limits (50-63 max). Could you help me?
I kept attempting overclocking and succeeded at 3.8 Ghz. This time the DRAM voltage was set to AUTO with XMP enabled, and the CPU voltage was at 1.35 volts. I ran a stress test and reached a maximum temperature of 80°C, while the normal range is between 50-60°C. Performance improved by about 95 points on Cinebench—from 1136 to 1235—and I’m really pleased.
I tried overclocking again and succeeded at 3.8 Ghz. This time the DRAM voltage is set to AUTO with XMP enabled, and the CPU voltage is 1.35 volts. I ran a stress test and reached a max temperature of 80°C, while the normal range is 50-60°C. Performance improved by 95 points on Cinebench—from 1136 to 1235. I’m very satisfied. Could you tell me the highest safe overclock speed for a Ryzen 1600 with the stock Wrath Spire cooler? If the temperatures under load are around 80°C, that’s the right setting.

i once more attempted overclocking and succeeded at 3.8 Ghz. This time the DRAM voltage was set to AUTO with XMP enabled, and the CPU voltage was at 1.35 volts. I performed a stress test and reached a maximum temperature of 80°C. The normal operating range is between 50-60°C.
I’m curious about the highest safe overclock speed for a Ryzen 1600 on the stock Wraith Spire cooler. If the temperatures during load reach 80°C, that’s likely the limit.
No sir... at 80°C under full core utilization, it’s probably the cap.

Not bad, I have the same CPU and it's running at 3.7 on stock. I'm considering getting a Hyper 212, but most units seem to only reach 4GHz max, so maybe I won't. Can you please list your overclock settings (CPU voltage)?
Hey everyone, thanks for the answers. I believe my maximum speed on the stock cooler is around 3.8 GHz, but after overclocking it stops working properly—there’s a black screen when I power on. I’m probably going to need an aftermarket cooler to push it further.
