Weird ryzen 1600 crashes
It seems oddly I had an OC to 3.9ghz at 1.3375v, but it worked and played Arma 3 for a while. After switching to Rainbow Six Siege and getting into a match, I crashed after a few seconds. My main issue was that after raising core voltage my FPS dropped unexpectedly—wondering if it’s better to revert to a lighter OC.
Did you verify your temperatures during gaming after the overvoltage? It could have been caused by thermal throttling. I'm nearly certain there are no thermal issues since it's maintaining around 66°C under load.
Define 'weird dip'? Have you checked any benchmarks? Did you record the average FPS? Could it be related to voltage drop? Usually this causes a PC crash, but games don’t need much CPU power. My thought is you probably lack a stable overclock. It seems that way especially under light loads, such as in games. Rainbow Six might be a bit more demanding on the CPU.

My thought is you probably lack a stable overclock. It seems consistent in light loads, such as games. Rainbow Six probably uses more CPU. I was just trying to play and noticed a significant drop; I checked the CPU frequency and it still shows 1.5 GHz even though the BIOS says 3.9. It gets confusing after changing voltage, so I replayed the game mode.
There's a bug with some of the boards...seems really random who ends up suffering with it, but it seems to plague those with the 350 chipset more, where if you touch the voltage or multiplier in the bios, it downclocks to 1.5ghz. There's no fix that I know of yet. I see people using P-states to overclock, getting around it that way....or try using AMD Ryzen Master, I've heard it's a viable workaround as well.
