The Ryzen1600 is generating excessive heat at low voltage levels.
The Ryzen1600 is generating excessive heat at low voltage levels.
I checked my new Ryzen 1600 stable after 2 hours of prime95.
3.8 1.200volt 71 degrees
3.9 1320volt 83 degrees with max 90
I feel the temperature is too high for those voltages.
I reinstalled the heatsink with new paste mx4, reinstalled Windows, removed all cables from the motherboard and reattached them, and reinstalled RAM.
Temperatures stayed the same.

You definitely need to improve the upgrade from the factory cooler. The case airflow seems fine, but you'll likely require additional heatsink or fan for your desired performance.
