Ryzen 5 1600 won't reach 3.8GHz

[Forhan Noor]

I'm using stock cooler on ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS motherboard. These are my current overclocking parameters:

Multiplier: 37.50
VCore voltage: 1.243 (stock) + 0.00625 (offset)
SOC voltage: auto (0.950)
Maximum VCore during AIDA64 stress test: 1.275
Maximum temp during AIDA64 stress test: 62
Memory: 2666mhz using default voltage (1.20)
Global c-state control: disabled
Core level boost: disabled

Now if I increase the multiplier, the system becomes unstable. Even at 37.75, the system crashes within 2 minutes. I've tried to adjust the vcore voltage offset to 0.0125, 0.01875 and even 0.025 with no luck. Is there anything I should do differently? I understand that extra 50-100 mhz won't make day and night difference. But I'm just curious, if I can achieve that without applying some crazy voltage.

Keep increasing VCore voltage, mine is 3.8 GHz @ 1.325 v. Yours should be lower than mine.

Yep, apparently 1.425V is stable with a GOOD COOLER, so try increasing as high as you can while also monitoring the stability and TEMPERATURE (AFAIK the sustained load temp should not exceed roughly 75degC or so for optimal CPU life. i.e. worst-case like 100% usage in Handbrake but not Prime95 as that's a too-stressful, non-realistic scenario)
