Motherboard is Gigabyte AB350M-D3H and I want to OC my CPU
What's the recommended safe OC settings? I did 3.80ghz and +0.100V Core clock, is it considered safe?

1600 and AB350M are not design for OC, I assume you already tried manual adjustment by increasing voltage related setting and increase speed.

I'd start with make case cooler (faster case fan), use fast NVMe you can afford, and upgrade CPU cooler. Pushing power related component (VRM, Chokes, mosfet ) to its limit will degrade those parts faster and may kill one of them (one dead part = whole motherboard is dead).

You can start by maxing up any voltage setting available on BIOS setting and then speed related, test your setting with stressing tool, you'll know eventually at what configuration your system can go.

AMD said, 1,4V is the Safe Voltage for 24/7, Before OC make sure you increase the Ram Frequency and Voltage, and download Cinnebench15 for testing the Stability and HWInfo64 to Check All The Temps and Voltages.

Just what makes you think that they are not designed for OC ? Both have pretty decent OC capability. VRM is enough for good OC of R5 and lower CPUs. All you need is good cooling.
Not counting on silicone lottery, 3.8GHz at <1.4v with good CPU cooler would be about average OC.

The initial idea is 3.8GHz by raising BCLK, so you need bus speed at 105 to 106 MHz (106*36 = 3.816), to get that 106MHz figure can be easily done through Easytune, I don't have AB350M and Ryzen5 1600, in my humble experience with GA X99P SLI + Xeon E5 raising bus speed produce system instability, maybe it only happens on X99P SLI so I had to do CLR CMOS just to get POST.

1.4V of what, VCore? good luck with silicon lottery

Most Ryzen boards do not have adjustable BCLK but all Ryzen chips have unlocked multiplier and are easily OC-ed on all "B" and "X" chipsets, "A" chipsets are not OC enabled in any way whatever the CPU.
Only spoiler could be VRM but as a rule of thumb whatever the turbo frequency of a given Ryzen CPU is, it can be permanently OC-ed to, even with stock coolers. Above that silicone lottery applies.

OP's question was is it safe @ 3.8GHz with 0.1mV, are you vouching your statement with one to one replacement for OP's mobo + CPU? just what makes you think it'll be safe permanent OC for the mobo? I notice you weren't reply to OP but refute my opinion, did I have ever refute yours before this?

That's because I already had very similar system with 1600x and Asus PRIME B350M-E (which is quite comparable MB) and even used a cooler from FX 8350. because 1600x didn't come with any. It was doing 3.8GHz with just under 1.4v with comfortable temperatures. Those very from very first combos that went on sale.
MD estimates 1.425v and 75c to be safe values and that's what I was guided by although manage to push it higher with better cooler.
