I am running prime95 tests around 25 minutes without any failures. Package 68C 69 is operating at its maximum capacity. The CPU model is 50C mainboard 33C. The maximum voltage is 1.288, which matches the HWmonitor data.
Roland Of Gilead:
Alright, as long as that's acceptable to the mods, then it's good. Let me know if you're satisfied with Prime testing. Any other questions? You can message me.
Just stopped prime95 after an entire hour of testing. Here are the results—what do you think?

That's great. What other options do you have? You might want to try version 3.8 at 1.3x speed to see how it performs. After setting the OC, run Hwmon/Prime95 and check again for over an hour. If you don't fail, you can push it a bit higher. As long as it stays under 80c and below 1.375v, you're all set to go a little further. Good work!
That's excellent. What other options are you considering? You might want to try 3.8 @1.3v to see how it performs. Once you apply the OC, run Hwmon/Prime95 and check again after an hour if it still works. If it stays under 80c and below 1.375v, you can push it a bit higher. Great work!
If I take any action, I'll let you know! Thanks for the advice. Your question makes sense—voltage should exceed 1.275 as set in BIOS, right? Sorry if this sounds simple but I'm new to this. 😊
That's excellent work. What alternatives are you considering? You might try 3.8 @1.3v to see how it performs. Once you apply the overclock, run Hwmon/Prime95 and check again after an hour or more if there are no failures. If you remain under 80c and below 1.375v, you can push it a bit further. Great effort!
If I implement this change, I'll let you know! Thanks for the guidance. My main concern is whether the voltage will exceed 1.275 (the value set in BIOS). I'm not sure if this sounds like a problem, but I'm new to this and might be misunderstanding. Sorry if it seems simple.
Yes, the voltage can vary during testing in HWmon and CPUID. When configured in BIOS, you often encounter 'Vdroop'. On the other side, it may rise slightly compared to your BIOS setting. This is my current understanding; others with more experience can clarify further.
For instance, my Vcore is set at 1.3v. Under full load, the voltage (as shown in HWMon/CPUID) is usually lower—perhaps around 1.288 or 1.294v. That's known as Vdroop. Some motherboards, like my Asus Prime B350 Plus, include LLC controls in the BIOS to help reduce this effect and maintain a steadier Vcore. This aids stability. Unfortunately, the ASRock B350 doesn't support this setting, though it shouldn't significantly affect higher overclocks beyond 3.9 to 4.1. 4.1ghz is the maximum for Ryzen 1.0 without risking damage or using liquid/nitro cooling.
Good results are possible with the stock cooler. The Wraith Stealth is a solid option, and it pairs well with decent overclocks. Do you have any extra case fans? Your CPU seems to run nicely with the stock cooler! It might be the motherboard that's contributing.
Also, no question is too simple. I've been using Tom's forum for over 10 years now, and I'm still learning. Occasionally I ask what seems like a 'stupid' question.
I'm not an expert, but following the advice from experienced tech users on Tom's has been helpful. Patience and a willingness to learn make this forum one of the best. Feel free to ask anything—just do it!
Roland Of Gilead shared some tips on optimizing his setup. He suggests testing with a 3.8 @1.3v configuration and running Hwmon/Prime95 to evaluate performance. He advises staying under 80c and below 1.375v for safe increases. He also mentions trying to push the voltage a bit higher if it stays stable.
Stock 1200 cooler with mx-4 paste is recommended, aiming for a boost to 3.9/4.0 in the next few days. He notes that voltage can vary during testing and suggests checking for 'Vdroop' in BIOS settings. He explains that fluctuations are normal and offers advice based on his experience with different motherboards.
He clarifies that voltage readings may change between HWmon and CPUID, and sometimes the actual value is slightly higher than set in BIOS. He shares that his CPU's voltage drops during heavy load, which is typical. He recommends using an ASUS Prime B350 plus with LLC controls to reduce Vdroop and improve stability. He also mentions that the ASRock B350 lacks this feature but still performs well above 3.9/4.0/4.1 with proper cooling.
He praises the Wraith Stealth cooler and suggests additional case fans for better airflow. He plans to post more about the voltage issue in a new thread. Thanks for the guidance!

After setting the OC, run Hwmon/Prime95 and check again after an hour if you still have issues. If your temperature stays below 80°C and under 1.375v, you can gradually increase it. Great work!
Stock 1200 cooler with mx-4 paste is likely to reach around 3.9/4.0 soon.
If I make any changes, I’ll let you know! Thanks for the advice. My main concern is whether the voltage will go above 1.275 (the one set in BIOS). Sorry if this sounds simple but I’m new here.
Yes, the voltage can vary during testing. In BIOS it might show 'Vdroop'. On the other side, it could rise slightly from what you set. This is my understanding; others with more experience can clarify better.
For instance, my Vcore is at 1.3v. Under full load it often drops to around 1.288–1.294v, which is Vdroop. Some motherboards like the Asus Prime B350 Plus include LLC controls in BIOS to help with this. This aids stability. The ASRock B350 doesn’t have that setting, but it won’t block further OCs beyond 3.9 to 4.1. 4.1ghz is the max for Ryzen 1.0 without overheating or liquid cooling.
The stock cooler gives decent results. The Wraith Stealth is a solid option, and with good OC it performs well. Do you have extra case fans? Your CPU is cool enough with the stock cooler—maybe the MX model helps.
One exhaust fan at the back (120mm blade running at 1200rpm) and a quiet front intake (1500–1600rpm). I’ll create a new thread about this voltage issue. Thanks again for your help.
Good airflow is crucial to keep temps lower. Also, pay attention to Prime Small FFT tests—they’re essential for understanding max temps and stable voltage. If you follow that, you’ll likely see more performance gains.
Hello! I tried to increase my Ryzen 1200's clock speed to 3.7GHz using stock cooling, setting the voltage manually at 1.275V in the BIOS of my ASROCK AB350M-HDV motherboard. The CPU has been stable after two hours of testing with AIDA64 and Prime95. I'm wondering if it's normal for the core voltage to rise above 1.275V during operation, browsing, or stress tests. The voltage fluctuates from 1.263 to 1.294V—does that seem acceptable? Thanks for understanding.
