Ryzen 5 1400 "safe" light oc.

I have a ryzen 5 1400 I am using now on my gaming rig (used to have 2600, but its in my work machine now... waiting for after scalpers go away to get something better.)

 

I dont need bleeding edge performance, I just want the most stable experience,  with least issues. Don't have time to play around with overclocking. What is a "basic" light overclock that i can throw on that will not screw me up, but not leave too much performance on the table?

3.8 GHz with a voltage of 1.30-1.375 should do the trick and be stable. You'll have to experiment with voltage to find what is right for chip. I have seen stable OCs with lower voltage but this is just what I would recommend to have the best chance of it staying stable.

 

You may need to up the SoC voltage to around 1v or so to make sure it is 100% stable. 

 

EDIT: Just a side note, depending on the LLC you may need to check with something like HW info to make sure that it is running the voltage you set. My Vcore on my 1700 is a touch higher than what is actually set in the BIOS due to this.
