overclocking 3900X

[frozensun]

Hi guys.
First time here.
I own Asus Crosshair Hero VIII MoBo and with PBO enabled board gives around 1.46 V (if I remember correctly) to the CPU.
Could check up later in the evening highest voltage when all set to AUTO.
Now don't tell me to update BIOS to latest because I don't want to.
I want to know if that is too high voltage for this CPU (I think so) and would it make my CPU degrade over time?
Because I think it is.
I underclock the CPU to 1.25V manually with x42 multiplier.
Is that okay?
Can I maybe go for 43GHz on all cores and what voltage?
Cooler is H100i platinum from Corsair.

my 3900x is set up with PBO, manual PPT, TDC & EDC limits, offset negative voltage. Your 1.46V is at idle I'm guessing which is normal.

you can also try ryzen clock tuner by 1usmus.

What is your clock and voltage?

What is your clock and voltage?

while doing what? going to be different when playing games or rendering videos or idle.

No, it is not too high and you should just leave it at default. This is normal behaviour and the way AMD have designed it. Pozdrav.
