Ryzen 1600, 'safe' voltages?

[iRileyx]

After installing my new 1600 i figured i'd try and overclock it right away, i have the voltage set to auto for now (just to see what it decided would be a "good" voltage) but it seems a little too high.

At 3.7Ghz the 'Auto' voltage makes it peak at 1.55 volts while running cinebench. Compared to a run at stock where it boosts all cores to 3.6ghz, it only ever reaches 1.36 volts during a cinebench run. Temperatures are fine, even at 1.55 volts it topped out around 63C after 3-4 continuous cinebench runs.

I tried lowering the voltage of the 3.7ghz OC to -0.180, which i assume would make it run at 1.37? but that gave me a no post error and i had to reset cmos to get the pc to power back on properly. Not been home since so havent been able to try at -0.1 etc yet so i can probably push it a bit further with some tweaking.

 

Is it safe to run it at 3.7 if the voltage is 1.55 volts? I'm considering just leaving it stock where it peaks at 1.36 volts as 1.55 seems very high.

Obviously over volt at your own discretion but it will affect the longevity of the chip, if its posting fine amd running fine and temps are fine dont complain lmao

AMD is recommending 1.45v as maximum safe voltage. For daily use I personaly wouldn't run above it.

Alright cheers, I'll have to fine tweak it some more when i get home later.

You should be able to get that voltage lower for 3.7ghz. I have 1.35v for my 1700 @ 3.95ghz
