Hey guys, here are the specs I just bought.
- ASrock B350 Pro4
- Corsair 2x4GB @ 3000Mhz
- GTX 1060 6GB xtreme edition
- Ryzen 5 1600
- 3 SPCorsair 120mm cooling fans
- Stock cooler is being used

For OC'ing this setup, what suggestions do you have? I’m new to overclocking and want the CPU to reach around 3.8GHz without going too far. Should I focus on power settings like 1.3, 1.32 or 1.35? Also, for the GPU, how should I approach the OC process? Just a stable one, not wanting it to overheat. Please let me know!

i spend 4 hours testing 3.9-3.95 at various voltages:
- 3.925 @ 1.325v failed
- 3.925 @ 1.3375 Solid 72°C max Temp. (see: https://imgur.com/jMv3xC7)
- 3.900 @ 1.3250 Solid 72°C max Temp. (see: https://imgur.com/R46hOTk)
- 3.950 @ 1.375 or 1.350v should work.
**** all tests were performed with AIDA64 (about 30 minutes should suffice) ***
to reply, yes – i won’t push it to the limit and waste my CPU time for just 100Mhz. I’m only testing a few scenarios and feel comfortable with 3.900 @ 1.325v at 72°C. I’ll adjust to 3.8 / 3.85 @ 1.3v / 1.3125 if temperature issues arise or if it gets hotter, since i live in a warm country. Alternatively, i can add more fans and re-test.
for conclusion i...

Most users are content at 3.8 GHz, and it's a good bet at 3.9 GHz... and extremely fortunate to reach 4 GHz... The 1060 is probably going to hit its limit even at 1080P, without being significantly higher than the standard speeds.

I would adjust the voltage to 1.3V and increase the mhz by 100 at a time to observe temperature changes and stability limits. The results will vary depending on the temperatures achieved, but I believe they will exceed 1.3V on the standard cooler.

I'll proceed at 3.8GHZ if I'm truthful. Would you modify this using the BIOS or AMD Ryzen Master? It seems Ryzen Master is much simpler to operate.

All the details are the same on this board, it's really straightforward.

i dedicate 4 hours to testing 3.9-3.95 across various voltage settings:
- 3.925 @ 1.325v did not work
- 3.925 @ 1.3375 Solid 72°C max Temp. (see: https://imgur.com/jMv3xC7)
- 3.900 @ 1.3250 Solid 72°C max Temp. (see: https://imgur.com/R46hOTk)
- 3.950 @ 1.375 or 1.350v should function
**** all tests were performed with AIDA64 (about 30 minutes should suffice) ***
in response, yes – I won’t push it to the absolute limit and waste my CPU lifespan for just 100Mhz. I’m only running some tests and feel comfortable with 3.900 @ 1.325v at 72°C. I’ll adjust to 3.8 / 3.85 @ 1.3v / 1.3125 if temperature issues arise or if summer arrives, since I live in a hot climate. Alternatively, I can add more fans and re-test.
for my part, Ryzen CPUs perform very well at 3.9Ghz with 1.3250v, which matches what I see on forums or YouTube – they usually recommend 1.4v for that frequency.
