I just purchased a new CPU for my gaming PC (Ryzen 5 1600X). At first I didn't consider overclocking, but now it's on my mind. I'm aiming for around 4 GHz, but when I opened Ryzen Masters I noticed the idle voltages fluctuating widely. I'm curious if jumping from 1.1V to 1.5V is acceptable and whether 1.4 volts is suitable for 4 GHz. I tried it at 1.3895V and it crashed after about 20 minutes of AIDA64 stability testing.

Not every device will operate at 4.0 under safe voltages. Some individuals choose to run them at 1.4v continuously, but I personally avoid that.
I usually work backwards from everyone else's settings. I decide on a voltage and check its performance before adjusting it down. This seems more manageable for me.

If it weren't stable, I'd lower the target a bit. 1.38 is the highest I'd consider leaving the system constantly.

During testing, starting from 3.8ghz to 3.9ghz, the system remained stable at 1,375v for 20 minutes.

Not every one of them will reach 4.0 at safe voltages. Some individuals will operate them at 1.4v continuously, but I won't do that.
I usually work backwards from everyone else. I choose a voltage and check how high it performs before adjusting it down. This seems simpler for me.

That's understandable. It allows for safer overclocking. However, regarding voltage fluctuations, it's something you should keep in mind.

It performs efficiently at high speeds during boosting. Remember, the boost must function with the most challenging chips produced to prevent crashes.

This adjustment involves saving a 4ghz profile at 1.4v and applying it at 3.9 at 1.375v. You need to set it to lower the frequency when it isn't under load, since it usually stays at 3.9ghz.
