I purchased a new cooler for my Ryzen 5 2600, it's a 120mm AIO unit. It fits the CPU well, which is why I attempted to overclock. I'm using Ryzen Master and initially set the voltage to 4.0GHZ with 1.4V, a safe starting point according to my research. After running Cinebench R20, temperatures stayed within acceptable ranges, peaking at 72°C. I then reduced the voltage to 1.3V, which provided stability during the test. I encountered issues with lower voltages like 1.275. Is 1.3V suitable for long-term overclocking? Also, despite having good idle temperatures around 40°C, my CPU caps at 3.65GHZ, so I was motivated to push it further.

Voltage is fine, but the cinebench isn't sufficient for testing. Consider Prime95, OCCT or AIDA64 stress tests. Plan for at least two hours of long-term testing. Focus on maximum load temperatures. A safe voltage should stay below the peak boost, around 1.4v across all cores. My 2700x model achieves 1.410v all-core boost.
