Looking to overclock my Ryzen 1600 with the stock cooler. How much Volts is too much for the stock cooler to cool, and What overclock should I try to reach? Thanks in advance.

Depending on what the CPU speed is already at you should overclock slowly. An example, lets say you have a CPU clocked at 3.90Ghz. You push that to 4.1 and use the manual mode first and id start at 1.230V. If the stress test passed then increease the Speed to 4.2 or 4.3. Stress test > Passed. Now at this point your temps are very hot. lets say around 70C. Thats where id want to stay is around that temperature. If the Stress test passed. Then go back the the voltage and lower it. 1.200 Is what we will use for an example. If it also passes then maybe decrease...

If you think you hit a sweet spot for overclocking change from manual voltage to adaptive so its more power and life efficient. THIS IS ALL AN EXAMPLE*= More voltage = More heat
