I have a Ryzen 1600 with Stock Cooler and an ASUS B350M-A/CSM MOBO. I have a 500W PSU.

I can OC to 3.7 easily with 1.30V.

When I try to do 3.8, it requires me to use 1.3750V.

Is my MOBO bad?
 
Solution
Many people have difficulty going beyond 3.8GHz, which shouldn't be so surprising when so few chips make it beyond 4GHz without heavy cooling and high power.
