How far could I O/C a Ryzen 7 1700 at stock voltage?

I like to keep power consumption low to make truly silent cooling easier so wondering how far I could push a 1700 at stock voltage whilst keeping low idle power consumption?
I'm thinking in terms of the maximum clock with all cores boosted.
I don't mind pushing the TDP above 65W so aiming to get as close to an 1800X at stock voltages.

The last time I tried this was probably with an Intel 2500K and I kept the voltages on stock and just upped the multiplier until it became unstable.
Is it that easy with Ryzen?

Which motherboard?

Thanks. I don't have one as I'm researching the basics in terms of over-clocking at this point.
If I take this route my budget would be around £100 - £130 so nothing too fancy.

From past experience with some boards Auto settings can actually over-volt and I had to use another setting (Stock!) to get it to run at stock settings.
With the AM4 platform if I leave it at Stock (not Auto possibly) and raise the multiplier by 1 or 2 will all the power saving settings still be in play?
So it will still idle at a much lower clock and voltage!

all you can do is set it to auto and bump the core speed up and see what voltage you get. then manually set voltage till is doesn't work. If you are after a balance of speed to power usage, the further you push the cpu the higher to voltage you'll need.

As per my original post I want to run it at stock voltage so have zero interest in increasing it.
