Hi all

Im getting a bit bored of my 1600X and trying to overclock it. the most i seem to be able to achieve is 3650mhz. anything else it just crashes. i have given up trying in the bios as if i do the bios overclock when it crashes the only way to get back into windows is reset the CMOS on on my Asrock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITX/ac the jumper is under the graphics card so i have to remove the graphics card every time. So now trying in windows. I can set the voltage as high as 1.45v and try 3.8 and crash its all over. not going to try higher than 1.45v as i would not be comfortable with that voltage any way. Am i missing something or have i just got a duff chip?

Spec
1600X
Asrock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITX/ac
Massively over kill PSU
TEAM GROUP DARK PRO " EDITION" 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHZ (running at 3600mhz)

Any help or advice welcome

Yeah, 1.45v is too much.

My Ryzen 5 1600 is running at 3.8 GHz @ 1.325v, doesn't get hotter than 50c with stock cooler.

Yours should be able to reach that without much difficulty, try tweaking some more, check RAM speed, etc, if nothing helps, you probably got a bad chip.

Also, try lowering your RAM speed a bit, see if it helps, mine's at 3200 MHz.
