Hi everyone,

I'm new to overclocking and since I'm not that sure of what I've done, I thought it'd be good to ask.
I have a Ryzen 5 1600 with a stock cooler and a Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming motherboard,and I overclocked the cpu from 3.2ghz to 3.7ghz. My motherboard's BIOS didn't have the option to set the voltage directly (the VCore option I saw other MOBOS have), so I had to set the Dynamic Vcore (DVID) offset from "auto" to "+0.030". That changed the voltage from 1.22v (If I'm not mistaken) to 1.26-1.28 (it varies, is that normal?). I've stressed the CPU for 30 minutes now and the max temperature was 68°c. Below I leave some screenshots I took (I used Cpu-Z, HWMonitor, Aida64 and Ryzen Master to test).

Now, my questions are: was the overclock properly done? is everything allright? am I going to have any kind of problem from what you can tell from the screenshots?

Thanks in advance and pardon my poor english.

I used to run my 1600 @ 3.85ghz / 1.375V 24/7. I never saw anything past 65C on stressing, so you're definitely in safe territory. I like to keep my CPU under 70C no matter what, but you would be fine going up to like 72C for stressing. In most situations you won't get close to that while you're gaming or whatever. Stress tests are like a last resort WHAT IF things were this demanding. I just remember that I could not get to 4.0ghz like most other people and raising the voltage past 1.375V was not something I was willing to do. You are free to keep raising the OC frequency slightly and testing if you get into windows and if things don't freeze while stressing. If freezing while stressing then it's asking for more voltage. If you...

If you raise the voltage and it's still freezing, then you've probably hit your limit.
