How much CPU Vcore Volt for me to OC Ryzen 1600 with 4GHz?

Spec

Mobo : Asus ROG Strix B350F

GPU : Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070

RAM : G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3000 MHz 8GB x 2

HDD : Seagate Barracuda 2TB

PSU : Cooler Master V650

What are you cooling it with? sorry to say but I would not go into it with 4GHz in mind thats a crap shoot even on water

The thing with ocing is that it's different for every CPU. You'll have to trial and error for awhile to figure it out for your CPU.

You may have a shot at it but voltage will vary so the only way to know is to do it but it will be around 1.39 - 1.42 ish

Will my processor be fry if I try too much to OC the processor with wrong CPU Vcore?

Look for a bios setting called VDDCR CPU Load Line Calibration. Your options should be Auto,Reg,Med,High,Extreme. Try Regular or Medium. (Avoid Extreme) and start with 1.35v on vcore and 4GHz. LLC will allow you to overclock higher at lower voltages by attempting to counter voltage drops during load. Stress test that with Aida64's System Stability Test stressing CPU/FPU/Cache for at least one hour. If it fails (red screen hardware failure warning), increase vcore and try again. You can go as high as 1.425v with High LLC without causing serious degradation, but I generally try to stay at or below 1.40v.

 

Download HWMonitor and pay close attention to your Package Temperature. You should not be exceeding 80c during Aida64's stress test. Keep an eye on CPU VDD (right above Package Temp), that's your most accurate vcore reading. Make sure it's not higher than what you set in the bios. High LLC can sometimes overshoot it. Another thing to keep in mind, the odds of you hitting 4GHz stable on a 1600(non-x) are very slim - like 1 in 100 or something. Don't be surprised if it's not possible. My 1600 can't do it.

It also couldn't hurt to update your bios if you haven't already. They tend to improve system stability and memory compatibility.

Thanks for your advice

You can also increase your soc volage to 1.1-1.3 this helped me on a 1700 have a lower vcore but i haven't hit 4ghz either. It took me 1.45 volts just to run cinebench and that's just to much vcore.

You may want to research that a bit. SOC Voltage, at least with Ryzen, is mostly only used for memory stability. To my knowledge, it has nothing to do with cpu voltage or overclocks. And it's recommended by numerous sources not to exceed 1.2v.
