Hello. I checked if the Ryzen 5 3500X supports 4.4 GHz. I ran it in AMD Ryzen Master at that speed with 1.4375V and it functioned properly, even under stress. I’m wondering if overclocking is safe for your setup. Your system includes a Gigabyte AORUS B450 PRO, HyperX 2x8GB RAM at 3200MHz (overclocked to 3600MHz), and the CPU reached 53°C during the test. I noticed the voltage stayed at 1.4375V on Intel platforms, but I’m unsure how to adjust it for Ryzen differently. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

I wouldn't suggest it. It's unclear what the performance gains are, but you're close to the red zone. I wouldn't advise using this voltage regularly. For short-term wins, it's fine, but over time the silicone will wear out. Also, I assume you have 4.4 across all cores. In gaming, you might actually slow things down since the CPU won't utilize xfr to enhance a single core beyond its limits.
