Did I win the silicon lottery?

[Stroz]

So I just started overclocking my Ryzen R5 1500x CPU (I'm an overclocking noob btw) and am currently at 3.9 ghz and am running stable at 1.29 volts. While using the stock cooler I am getting into the 70s with CPU and FPU stress tests on AIDA64 so i think I might stop here. But is this pretty good voltage for this chip or what?

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Stroz : "Did I win the silicon lottery?"

I am overclocking my Ryzen R5 1500x CPU with voltage set to auto and I am currently at 3.9 ghz. While stress testing my voltage is only hitting 1.237 volts max! Could this possibly be a reading error because this seems extremely low for this speed. It is saying 1.237 volts on HWMonitor and AIDA64.

Note: I am an overclocking noob

Run Prime95 for an hour, and same to IntelBurnTest.

I ran it and it was stable. Gaming I max around 60 degrees and during stress tests I max at 80. Are these temps normal and safe for stock cooler overclocking?

80 is a little on the warm side, but still way below the point where the CPU would go into thermal throttling. I would suggest getting a better cooler if you plan to continue running at that level.

I added some case fans and reduced the max temp while stress testing to 77 degrees (I'll probably also swap pastes from the stock stuff to some Arctic Silver 5 later on). Gaming is nowhere near that and is around 55-60 degrees and Idle 39-42 degrees, so do you think I can safely run this clock on this cooler or still look into a better one?

Well i think if you can push till 4.1Ghz~ after you get new cooler.
