Hi, thanks for your interest!
I just tried overclocking my CPU from 3.2GHz to 3.7GHz at 1.3v. After completing the aida64 stress test for 20 minutes, I got these findings:

(the average temperature was 63°C).
I’m curious if any experts here have insights on this. Can I push it further? Is it safe? Are these numbers concerning or should I keep things as they are?
The specs I think matter are:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1400 3.7GHz 1.3v
GPU: Galax exoc sc gtx 970
Cooler: Cryorig m9a
RAM: Msi b350 tomahawk
3 case fans, Corsair Spec 03
PSU: xfx ts 430w
Thanks for taking the time to read—I’d appreciate your advice! 😊

I believe 63 degrees is a great temperature. You might want to try running it again at 3.8GHZ with the same voltage and observe how it responds, along with your temperatures.

How much can you realistically gain from another 100 mhz? Is increasing the core voltage beneficial? Many Ryzens operate near 3.9 to 4.0 with adequate cooling, so consider the voltage level you aim for in your setup.

I haven't played with a Ryzen yet... But my approach has always been to understand what your chip can do, then adjust to something that feels right. As long as the cooling works well, you don't have to worry too much about overheating these days...
