BCLK OC Killing Components?

Hello, I've overclocked my Ryzen 1700 to 4ghz through the bios, but on cold boots my X370 Taichi will cycle a few times before booting up and I usually lose my OC. Every once in a while when it boots up Windows Task Manager shows a base speed of 4ghz and speeds up to 4.9ghz and geekbench does as well. CPUZ, MSI Afterburner, HWMonitor and Ryzen Master all show my frequencies bouncing between 3.2ghz and 3.75ghz. I'm pretty sure the CPU is running at the higher speeds because I'm getting a Cinebench score of 1907 multicore (all cores hitting 4.2ghz during benchmarking)/202 single core and Userbench shows ridiculous results as well. My guess is that the CPU clock has run into some crazy number like 150 or 160mhz and the multiplier is staying the same. I say that because the rest of my system is now overclocked as well. Normal bios OC leaves my GTX 1060 6gb with a 92 Octane Bench score, with the weird bug I'm getting a 128 (without touching afterburner). My Samsung 960 Pro is running beyond spec as well, as is my ram. My question is-am I destroying my components? HWMonitor and Ryzen Master say the temps on the CPU max out around 58C under load. GPU temps are nearly 60C under load (with custom fan curve), and the 960 Pro hits 55C under load. As long as its stable and temps are fine--am I good to go?

If you are boot looping this is NOT a stable OC.

Why are you overclocking with the BLCK? Why not just use the multiplier? @Crunchy Dragon

When I OC I use the multiplier, but when I shutdown and reboot after a few hours (or a day) the system cycles a few times then reverts back to factory settings according to every monitoring software I've looked at besides Task Manager and Geekbench. When I restart and enter the bios all the settings are back to factory defaults regarding the OC. If I dial in my OC settings and reboot, all monitoring software shows the same info, but all of me benchmarks are back to normal 1700 scores.

Because your system is not stable.  When you apply an Overclock and you reboot from BIOS, it will try 3 times.  If it does not boot correctly it will reset back to default (or allow you to go in and reset it instead atleast for ASUS its like this for me).  Your overclock is not stable at all.  Maybe it boots sometimes, but seems like its acting very wonky when it does boot.

 

Your overclock wont kill something, if you are correctly dissipating heat (everywhere).  Heat kills silicone.

 

As for the other settings and why?  Im not sure.  Maybe because the unstable OC.

@Tristerin Thank you for the reassurance on not killing components. I'm sure you're correct, but even at low OC's (3.7) it still tries to boot 3 times and resets back to default. As long as I can still run Cinema 4d and Octane--I'll let the wonky boots roll (and definitely keep an eye on my temps). I haven't stressed the CPU in this weird OC state (except through CPUZ) since I was worried about degrading components, but I will try some stress tests later and see what happens. I'll also post my cinebench score in that thread--it should look really odd since CPUZ reports 3.2ghz when I bench over 1900 in the weird OC boot.
