I crash right away after stress testing with prime95, but I can game and stream for hours and won't crash at all. I overclocked my 1700 to 3.8 @1.35v and my G skill Trident Z RGB to 3200 @ 1.35v

Over clocking is not good, it can speed up your CPU and therefore speed up your computer if your computer is limited by its CPU but the CPU will produce additional heat. It may become physically damaged if you dont provide additional cooling, or it may be unstable and cause your computer to blue-screen or restart.

Yeah I know what overclocking does... my temps are are fine when idle and gaming. I was wondering if it mattered that I crash in prime95 but not when gaming and streaming for hours.

He would be crashing due to an un-stable overclock. Drivers will not fix this.

OP - Try a few other synthetic benchmarks. I don't really like P95 for stress testing, it seems to bump the volts way too far.

Id go for IntelBurnTest or Aida64. I used Cinebench for my 1600x.

If your still un-stable, drop your ram clocks first and re-test. Make sure your mobo BIOS is upto date to support the higher frequency ram.

Else, crank them volts till your happy. I've got mine at 1.47V on the VCore so you've got plenty of headroom if your cooler can handle it.

I was wondering how high I could bump up the voltage, but as you said it looks like I have alot of headroom. I will try some of those instead of prime95. Thanks for the reply

I have ran AIDA64 overnight with no crash and also passed Cinebench, so I'm going to assume my system is stable. Thanks for the help!

you can get the vcore to about 1.6-7, some have even hit 1.8v on air, ryzen rely s heavy on the voltage more than intel chips

1.5v on the v core maximum. These CPU's need to stay below 75*c. When you start hitting that 1.38/1.4 vcore, your temps will sky rocket

I mean, I'm pushing a dirty overclock for 24/7 use. I wouldn't recommend my voltages because it's a tad too warm.
