I wouldn't bet on it. The 1200 would probably have a hard time getting to 3.8Ghz in the first place unless you get luckly with the silicon lottery. A Cryorig M9a would boost cooling performance and might get to 3.8Ghz if you're lucky with the silicon lottery.

1200'S can hit 4ghz just as easily as all the other ryzen chips can. Some people can even push 4ghz with the stock cooler.

With all the Ryzen chips I've overclocked and seen overclocked, 3.8-3.9Ghz was as high it could get. Only one of them got to 4.0ghz. The stock cooler had thermals higher than I was comfortable with.

It comes with the stock cooler, so why not try it, and if you're limited by heat and want more OC, get an aftermarket cooler
