I've been attempting to achieve a stable overclock for several days, adjusting voltage and clock speed. I managed to reach 3.85ghz at 1.39 volts, and Prime95 ran smoothly for four hours with temperatures around 70 degrees during the stress test. I played games all day and turned it off, marking it as a success. The next day, when trying to reboot, I couldn't boot into the window despite being able to enter BIOS and using the optimized setting. Any minor overclocking attempts resulted in the same issue. What went wrong? Did anything fail? Thank you for your help!

Don't interfere with the base clock. Keep it at 100/stock.
They applied 1.425v for 3.9GHz here: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/am...ew,23.html
Each CPU behaves uniquely, so testing and fine-tuning are necessary.
I'm not very familiar with Ryzen, but typical recommendations are:
1. Update the BIOS to the newest release
2. Turn off power-saving features such as Cool'n'Quiet
3. Apply LLC/Load Line Calibration or VDroop Offset; start with 50% and adjust later
4. Proceed with overclocking and monitor performance
5. If issues persist, raise the voltage
6. If problems recur, reduce the frequency
Additionally, ensure your motherboard provides adequate airflow and maintain CPU temperatures under 80°C.

Do not touch the base clock. Keep it at 100/stock.

Each CPU behaves differently, so you need to test and fine-tune.
I’m not very familiar with Ryzen, but the typical steps are:
1. Update BIOS to the newest version
2. Turn off power-saving features like Cool'n'Quiet
3. Apply LLC/Load Line Calibration or VDroop Offset; start with 50% and adjust later
4. Proceed with overclocking and test
5. If it doesn’t work, raise the voltage
6. If it fails again, lower the frequency
Also, ensure your motherboard has strong airflow and maintain CPU temperatures under 80°C.
The GPU will have a bigger effect on game performance unless you’re running a highly CPU-heavy title.
