Guys, my Ryzen 2400G processor runs smoothly at 3.9GHz when using 1.4375V, but I’m unsure what’s causing the issue. Could it be that my power supply isn’t delivering enough power to maintain that voltage? I checked with an Intel burn test and only got 89 under full load. I’m really worried about this.

It will only reach that high temperature in an Intel burn test. On Cinebench 79C the max is around 3.9V at 1.38V and mine needs about 1.4375V to pass the most demanding tests. I think my SMPS might not be sufficient. The goal of using IBT or Prime95 is to check for a stable system, not to stress it. Also, when I mentioned 'temps should be below 80°C', that was during prime95 small ffts/IBT, not Cinebench. Cinebench only shows the CPU warming up, not stability under stress. My R1600x is running at 3.9V and 1.3V, it will handle Prime95/IBT all day with low voltage and high stress. Your target should be temps below 80°C with full stress conditions.

Begin by ignoring that OC setting. With those voltage and temperature conditions, your new chip won’t perform well. Remove the OC to keep temperatures under 80°C for stable operation. The chip might struggle to reach 3.9 with a lower voltage core. You need to find a balance between speed and heat levels. You could aim for around 3.6 or 3.7 using something like 1.375, but ideally you should go even lower. Cooling solutions will also matter—if your cooler is poor, it won’t help manage the heat, which could explain the high temperatures. Start simple and gradually improve.

It seems the device will only hit that high temperature during an Intel burn test. On Cinebench 79C max, other systems get stable at 3.9GHz and around 1.38V, while mine needs about 1.4375V to pass Intel's most demanding tests. I think my SMPS might not be sufficient.

the setup includes a ryan 2400g, gskill 8gb ram, msi b450 tomhwak, 1tb hdd, gtx 750ti gpu, corsair vs 450 smps, and an antec gx200 case. Right away, I wouldn't be increasing the voltage too much with that power supply. It's not good quality, and you should get a new one before trying to overclock. Using this PSU could damage your parts if you push the system beyond its limits.
