Hi,
I recently assembled a new PC equipped with a Ryzen 1700 and began exploring overclocking. I gradually increased the clock speeds from 3.00, 3.20, up to 3.40, then reached 3.80 before the system failed due to insufficient voltage. I’m curious about what other users consider the optimal stable speed for this model. I’m not aiming for maximum performance at any cost and prefer a reliable setting where everyone can run smoothly.

I tested the unit at 3.60 with default voltages and found no problems. Should I maintain that setting or slightly boost the voltage to 3.80? From what I’ve read, pushing it beyond 3.80 tends to be challenging.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32gb 2666
Motherboard: Aorus GA-AX370-K7

That would be the stock 3.0 GHz. Overclocking is never a guarantee and there may be a very small percentage of people who cannot OC to even 3.05GHz (takes away from your requested 100%).
If you're stable at 3.6GHz, I'd leave it there and call it a day.
