ryzen 1600 safe overclocks ?

[gm-madi]

all intel CPUs can hit 4.5Ghz ( +0.5 / 0.7Ghz OC ) easy with a maximum of 1.28v.
i have a ryzen 1600 and i OC it to 3.825Ghz with 'Auto' voltage ( 1.3v max ) but, isn't that too much compared to intel ?
i mean am planning to keep my ryzen for 4-5 years at least, but i have a doubt since that voltage is higher than intel.
i know my question don't have an exact answer because ryzen is still new, but can it run safe at that voltage, and i get 3.9Ghz at 1.325v also safe for the next 4 years ?

AMD recommends 1.35v, but a max safe voltage of 1.45v. Going over 1.45 could shorten the lifespan of your CPU. 1.3 - 1.35 is fine.
I could only manage 3.7ghz without going over 1.35v on my 1600 with ram maxing at 2800(3200xmp), so you got a half decent chip.

before the overclock of cpu did you activate axmp for the ram in uefi bios .

ye am reading it, under 1.38 is safe for CPU lifespan thank you.
i could hit:
3.825 - auto
3.900 - 1.33
3.950 - 1.375v

my ram is 3000Mhz, xmp1: 2666 and xmp2: 2800. so i manually OC it to 3200 with 1.360v.
but this is have to do with the CPU oc ?

I would take the 3.9 @ 1.33 for the lower temps

with the axmp on you will go from 3.2 to 3.4 before the overclco of the cpu so you will not have to raise cpu voltages to much to get 3.9 on speed .
