So I built myself a budget pc system a while ago. And i bought a decent cooler so that i could overclock my cpu(amd ryzen 3 2200g). To overclock im using amd ryzen master:
Base clock: 3.5 GHz
cpu voltage 1.4V
Average temp: 25 *C

The problem is that i cant overclock it above 3.725 ghz without it crashing. But when its overclocked to 3.275 it only has a temp of 29*C.
Is 3.725Ghz the max or am i doing something wrong.

p.s. I haven't made any differences to th cpu voltage because im scared that ill over do it... maybe that the problem?
 
The best way to OC Ryzen, is through the bios. It's actually easy enough. But, what works on one chip doesn't always work on another. Each chip is different so only you can determine how far to push, The good news is, that there are tell-tail signs the system tells us to know whats happening, and if this is too much or that is too little.

With that said you need to read up about what you are doing and what you want to achieve.

Start by listing your full pc specs, including mobo/ram/psu /gpu etc.
