Ryzen 1700 oc
I've set an x37 with 3.7 ocs remaining on auto, core voltage, and the max voltage according to cpuz is 1.192v. It looks low though, and the max temperatures during load are 71 and 35 at idle.

Take a look at that guide and proceed with the next steps. It contains all the necessary information. I might write detailed posts about what to do next, but personal experience is essential in this case. Your chip will be unique, so the outcomes you see or others may not apply to yours. You need to focus on optimizing your OC to achieve the results you want.
keeith12,
Its not the Vcore voltage on load that worries me, its the spike right as the CPU goes into idle.
Here is the video I use for reference:

The problem with Auto Vcore is that as LLC compensates for VDroop it will spike far higher than its safe.
Its a very short spike, I agree (I am just one of those better safe than sorry guys, especially with a new architecture and 8 cores).
When it comes to coretemp or HWMonitor, please note that those are NOT accurate. They can be off by little or by a lot (it depends on the sensors on the motherboard! and their quality).
Personally, my Gigabyte X370 Gaming 5 is off by around 0.05, so its not too bad.
Finally, the reason I suggested not going past 3.8 GHz is simple:
For someone who is relatively new to OC, trying to get that final extra 100-200 MHz is a small benefit in performance considering the additional risk.
I dont just mean damage to the processor but instability, temperatures, VRM temps on motherboard...
I simply dont think it is worth it.
to OP, I assume that you are talking about Load Vcore? Also, what Program are you using for testing stability and load?
Currently I've removed it from auto, it's running at 3.8 mhz @1.2v, soc is at 1v, the llc remains auto, temps are idle at 41c and load at 71c, vrms drop to 47c, chipset stays around 50c. These readings were taken using the MSI command center sensors on my motherboard. I ran Prime 95 for an hour and Cinebench R15 about ten times, with a bit of gaming for roughly four hours—didn't experience any crashes? Are these voltages all within safe limits?
