Hey guys, basically I have bought a ryzen 3 1200 chip and an asus b350m-k motherboard with it. I have managed to do a stable 3.7ghz overlock @ 1.2V with the temperatures reaching only 65 degrees max on aida64 while CPU, FPU and cache stress testing using the stock cooler. I am very concerned about the fact that the motherboard I am using does not have heatsinks on the VRMs. Will my motherboard get damaged? I think that it wont because the voltage increase was very low. And also with this kind of a voltage increase there wont be any chances of the cpu getting damaged? Sorry if I sound stupid but I am really new to overclocking :D

Also, has anyone been able to reach 3.7ghz+ at the stock voltage? Please let me know if you did as I will probably attempt it tomorrow.

Just check VRM temperature under full load but I doubt stock voltage can overheat it. As far as CPU is concerned, AMD recommends max voltage/ temp as 1.425/75c so you are way in safety zone.
I don't know way you OC-ed but use HW Info https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php fort most accurate readings. If you left voltage at auto, it can jump quite a bit when under full load.

Thank you for the fast response. Core voltage is set to offset mode and it has been only increased by +0.0125 volts. What is the max safe temperature for the VRM?
