CPU overclock issue,potential RAM or GPU.

[Dralexus]

Hello guys,

Last week, I had posted in the GPU part of the forum that my monitors would lose signal or restart, usually while in-game. So, I presumed that it was my GPU and didn't mention my CPU overclock. Couple days ago, I tried to get my Ryzen 5 1600 to 3.9, but the mentioned black screens became more frequent, even started happening on the desktop. Decided to lower my overclock back to 3.8 and put the voltage on auto as it usually sets it higher than it needs to. This essentially resolved the issue, until I started streaming some CS:GO, I still had sound of everything that happened in game, but no signal. No idea what is the issue, as only tweaking with the CPU makes difference, but it acts like its a GPU one. Here are my specs, sorry for any potential grammar mistakes:

What would you say is the highest and safest overclock in general with the R5 1600 ?

It varies chip to chip, and did you apply extra voltage?

[Dralexus]

The current speed is 3.8 with 1.375 voltage.

I have a r5 1600 in a system im about to sell. It also depends on ur mobo which is kinda slacking. But do 3.5 ghz because i dont know if adding voltage is a good idea
