So I overclcoked my cpu to 3.8GHz. I have a 550w 80 plus from evga

i have my current voltage at 1.3, I tried 3.9GHz but it it crashed running the benchmark

im not sure how much more voltage i can increase, any tips could help.. Also cooling is not a problem since its water cooled.

As previously mentioned, you can go as high as 1.4v for 24/7 use and still be relatively safe provided you keep an eye on Package/Tdie temperatures. 80c is usually where I draw the line, but with it water cooled, you shouldn't have a problem. Also, depending on which board you have, you may want to look into the bios option CPU Load Line Calibration. If available, it attempts to counter voltage drops under load and will allow you to overclock slightly higher. Just avoid the highest, extreme LLC settings as they will most likely harm your CPU.

 

Edit: I forgot to mention you'll want to look for a bios option called Core Performance Boost and disable it. It controls AMD's Precision Boost and XFR which increase CPU Frequency and voltage higher than what you've manually entered. Not a good idea when you're overclocking already.

Could just be that your CPU won't go that high. Won't be the only one.

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

You see, my GPU is very week.

(1gb vram) and on youtube people upload videos of GTA V on my GPU

average FPS for them at 1080p is 8-12 

but i managed to get 28 with it.

Conclusion: Every single unit (GPU, CPU, RAM etc.) Is different and every one of them has its limits.

Needs more volts.

I don't really know the source, but in many different forums (OCN, HardwareLuxx, etc) I've seen people saying that someone from AMD said that 1.425v and above is not safe for 24/7 use because it will affect longevity of the unit. I personally believe this to be truth so I wouldn't go over 1.4v in my own rig. Keep your temps down under 80C and check your VRM temps, they should be under 90C ideally. 

If I were you I'd just set it at 3.9ghz and work voltage at 0.25v increments from 1.325v always checking stability of the system with minimum 15min of good stressing (below 15min it is possible that temps did not settle yet and you'll have wrong measurement).

If I would have to increase voltage over 1.375v on my own rig to achieve stability at 3.9ghz then I would stay at 3.8 or 3.85ghz because I won't see difference in any application other then benchmark. It makes no sense IMO to push your ryzen over 1.375v just to achieve 1-3% more performance as it is not noticeable during your day-to-day activities.
