New to OC, I don't get what I'm doing wrong

[noobClocker888]

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to post this, my motherboard is a Asus x-470 F gaming, recently upgraded to a Ryzen 5950x, 32 gb 3200 MHz ram, and a Be Quiet Silent Loop 3 360 mm aio. I recently started tinkering with overclocking and I think I somewhat get the main idea,
1. Give cpu more voltage = can push it harder but can crash from overheating
2. Under volt it = drop temps but can crash from not receiving enough voltage depending on clock

So I tried a basic OC from what I've read, 4500 MHz all core at 1.35 voltage, and checked in hwinfo64 the voltage, and it shows that it's getting around 1.288 volts in R23 cinebench, it'll run for about 5 minutes and then crash, I tried LLC levels 1 - 4, and basically same thing happens. 1- 3 temps are fine but at 4 it'll hit 95 and then crash. Then when I go into bios, I still set the multiplier to 45 but just set the voltage to auto, and it completes cinebench just fine and hwinfo shows that it's getting even less voltage than the manual? So I'm just confused what's going on, how come in auto it's getting even less voltage yet doesn't crash, but with a manual it'll get more voltage, temp stays fine, but then crashes? I'm super new to this so just not sure what's going on behind the scenes. Thanks for any feedback!

Hi there!

Just verifying, this is the motherboard you have? https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x470-f-gaming-model/

If so, I believe it should be fine (some lower end boards can have issues with high end processors with the power delivery systems). I assume you're on the latest BIOS, drivers, etc?

Can you post the rest of your system specs as well (PSU, GPU, RAM model, etc?)

Heya, yeah that's the one and yup I just installed latest chipset drivers, latest bios as well, rest of the specs are GTX 1080 Ti Sc2, EVGA superNOVA 850 W G3 80+ gold, and ram is 4x8 G.Skill TridentZ RGB PC4 25600 16-18-18-38, and Windows 10 build 19045.
