I've got a ryzen 5 1600 and it is showing 8 cores and 20mb cache. So I assume i'm getting the so called silicon lottery for ryzen 5 1600 out of the box. Now i'm wondering should I OC it base on 1700 guidelines or 1600?

I'm newbie in OCing.

MB: Asrock AB350M Pro 4
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (8 core/1700?)
Cooler: Cyrorig H7
Casing: Fractal Design Mini C (using only stock fans)
PSU: Cooler Master V550s
RAM: ddr4-ram 2400 mhz crucial ballistix (forget if there is LT or not)
Ambient temperature: not sure, but it seems like 30c more or less.

On stock core speed 3.2ghz and 3.4ghz boost and 1.2v, It is idling at 39c / underload at < 50c.
Ocing with ryzen master and stressing it using Aida64.

3.7ghz / 1.3v - 78c
3.6ghz / 1.275v - 74c (current config)

I'm wondering what is the problem with the temperature going so high? I was planning to get to atleast 3.8ghz at less than 1.35v without going over recommended temperature of 75c for running 24/7. is my cooler not good enough or i need more fans? Can my mobo handle it? since it is B350 and not X version.

Edit: added ram & psu


 
You forgot to mention the make and model of your ram(kit) as well as the PSU. They will all be necessary with your overclocking endeavors. The highest I would set the voltages on your processor would be 1.3v however I've seen folks run at 1.25-1.27v without issues but required some rigorous tweaking and troubleshooting to find that sweet spot.

FYI, you should try and overclock using the BIOS instead of the app, in Windows/OS.
 
I've seen alot people doing it more than 1.3v and going over to 3.8ghz - 4.0ghz on higher range on the same processor. I'm thinking if I can go 3.8ghz as I'm new and don't want to go through so much hassle of system not POSTING.

Ryzen master allows me to tweak till the performance I want without all the booting etc. And I may only do it in bios (or not) after getting the result I want. In addition I am not sure how and if setting the pstates as OCing in Ryzen master will not cause the processor to run at full speed all the time.
