The Ryzen 5 1600 with a standard cooler experiences instability during extended Cinebench and running slow tasks.
Hello everyone,
I recently set up this system and am attempting to maximize the CPU performance with approximately 1.3500 Volts. My goal is a sustained overclock that preserves the CPU's longevity. I adjusted the clock speed to 3.875GHz without any issues... until I noticed a discrepancy: when setting the voltage to manual mode at 1.3500 Volts, the output dropped to 1.545 (equivalent to 1.6GHz). To fix this, I switched to offset mode, which adjusted the voltage by +0.1185, bringing it closer to the desired 1.3500 Volts.
After making that adjustment, I ran Cinebench. At 3.9GHz it crashed on the first attempt. However, when lowering the clock speed below 3.875GHz (such as 3.825 or 3.850V), it would crash again, though I’m unsure why. Is this a bug or just instability? I also tested AIDA64 for an hour without issues, so perhaps the problem lies elsewhere.
My CPU specs are:
- AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Boxed
- AOC G2460VQ6
- ASUS Prime X370-Pro
- Corsair RM550x
- Corsair Strafe MX Brown
- Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB DDR4-3000 CL15 kit
- Crucial MX300 275GB (M.2)
- EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC 3GB
- Fractal Design Meshify C Tempered Glass edition
- Seagate BarraCuda New 2TB
I’m seeking advice on whether to increase voltage or lower the clock speed, or if the Cinebench results are due to a temporary glitch. The first two runs were stable at 3.875GHz with a score of 1276cb, compared to the standard 1125cb before overclocking.
Could this be a bug in Cinebench R15.0, or is there another issue? I also encountered a warning from AIDA64 about a hardware failure during the stress test, which further questions system stability.
Kind regards,
Vincent Stoter
Verify that your temperature remains below 60C
It reaches up to 67C before ceasing
Hi all,
I recently set up this system and aimed to maximize CPU performance with around 1.3500 Volts for a long-term overclock, preserving its lifespan. I adjusted the clock to 3.875GHz without issues... then observed a problem: when setting the voltage to manual mode at 1.3500 Volts, the output dropped to 1.545 (1.6GHz). To fix this, I switched to offset mode, which added an offset of +0.1185, bringing the voltage closer to the desired level.
After resolving that, I ran Cinebench. At 3.9GHz it crashed on the first attempt. However, lowering the clocking frequency below 3.875GHz (even to 3.825 or 3.850V) caused it to crash a third time. It’s unclear if this is due to a bug or instability. I’ve run AIDA64 for half an hour without issues, so perhaps the test duration was insufficient.
Should I increase the voltage or reduce the clock speed? Or is this just a minor bug that Cinebench handles? My initial Cinebench runs at 3.875GHz were perfect, achieving a score of 1276cb compared to the standard 1125cb before overclocking.
Could my system be stable overall? Is the Cinebench crash truly indicative of instability, or is it just a temporary issue?
Kind regards,
Vincent Stoter
Edit: AIDA64 reported a "Hardware failure detected" and halted the stress test. I’m unsure why my system isn’t fully stable.

Hi all,
So I build this system yesterday and I am trying to push the CPU as far as possible using around 1.3500 Volts (I want it to be a long term overclock, with a long CPU lifespan).
I set the clock to 3.875GHz without problem... I only noticed something: When putting the voltage on 'manual' mode (on 1.3500 Volts), I only get 1.545 (1.6GHz). What I did to solve this is put it on 'offset' mode and then it would just did an offset of +0.1185 so it would reach around 1.3500 Volts.
Now that I had fixed that, I ran Cinebench. With 3.9 GHz, Cinebench would crash on the first try.
But putting my clocking frequency on anything below that, (even 3.825 or 3.850 Volts), it would crash the THIRD time and I do not know why. Is it because of a bug or is it just not stable? I ran AIDA64 for half an hour without experiencing problems so am I just running it not too long enough?
Should I give my CPU more Voltage/lower clock frequency, or is it just some bug which I can ignore in Cinebench? Because the first two runs in Cinebench work perfectly fine with my CPU on 3.875 GHz and I got 1276cb score out of it VS. the standard (before overclocking) 1125cb score.
So, is my system just stable and is it just a bug that Cinebench R15.0 crashes on the third run? Or is it not stable?
Kind regards,
Vincent Stoter
Edit: suddenly AIDA64 indicates a "Hardware failure detected" and stops the stresstest. I have no idea why my system is not completely stable

Sounds like you just need to do some stability testing. If your system is crashing, you either need to lower the clock, or raise the voltage. I suggest Realbench stability test for a minimum of one hour, two would be better. AIDA64 or OCCT are good as well, but I only use those for machines that will be chewing on a lot of data. (my work machines).
Some screenshots of your bios settings would be helpful to help diagnose the problem, and maybe give some suggestions.
Thanks, I was just playing around, lowering clock speed while keeping the voltage. Works okay-isch, sometimes randomly stops with AIDA64 (but no crash) and sometimes it is just stable. I will test this upcoming weekend my pc again (I have school throughout the week)
I have a personal preference for the Intel burn test. If it withstands ten attempts, it should be fairly stable, and that process is quite fast. You might want to start with that first, then when you spot any signs of damage, test more thoroughly later.
I believe I'm currently at around 1.3 volts with a frequency of 3.7ghz, which looks reasonable. Perhaps I'll push a bit higher, but it's still within acceptable limits.
Hello everyone! I've tried various configurations and voltage settings on my Asus Prime X-370 PRO, setting it to 'manual' at 1.3500V didn't work as expected. It only caps its speed to 1.6GHz and restricts its own voltage, which isn't ideal.
Switching to 'offset mode' with +0.1185V added to the standard voltage allows me to reach up to 1.35 volts without limiting clock speed or voltage.
I managed to fix these issues myself through trial and error, adjusting settings until I successfully overclocked my AMD Ryzen 5 1600 with a stock cooler to 1.35V and 3.825GHz for stable long-term performance.
Thanks for your support! 😊
