When I talk about setting it to "auto", I'm not just referring to the voltage but to everything.
You need to perform a "load optimized defaults" and restart.
At this point, the CPU will manage itself and will adjust the voltage sent to the cores based on the workload and temperature.
In full auto, you might even see the processor reaching up to 1.45v. But this is not dangerous because this voltage is only applied to one core while the others are idle.
In the case of manual overclocking, you apply this voltage to all cores, which is dangerous.
I have a 3600X and believe me, I spent weeks trying to find the best possible overclock. In the end, I went back to automatic mode and only adjusted the RAM to 3000 MHz.
Now, if you absolutely want a manual overclock,
- do not exceed 1.32v under load,
- Load Line Calibration should be set to minimum. Too bad for the significant vdroop. If you need to set your voltage to 1.38v for example at idle so that it drops to 1.32v under load, that's fine. When you run a stress test, you should not exceed 1.32v,
- keep an eye on the temperature,
- run a stress test with AVX support
- if the CPU exceeds 80 degrees, stop.

I have no knowledge of any settings you may have modified. So the best thing is to start from a clean slate.
Once in the BIOS, press F6. A message will appear asking if you want to restore the default settings. You say YES or OK and then press F10 to save and restart.
Your BIOS will be reset to factory settings.
You can start making your adjustments again.
But as I told you, you should let the CPU manage itself. Set your RAM to DOCP or XMP profile (the name depends on the BIOS and manufacturers).
Then you press F10 and restart.
Your RAM will be overclocked according to the manufacturer's specifications automatically.
I also invite you to consult the manual for your motherboard available here: https://fr.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK#down-manual
You will find plenty of useful information there.

Hello.
I just set up Ryzen Master for my Ryzen 5 3600 to:
4.2GHz on all cores
1.30625 volts on all cores.
Does this configuration seem correct to you?
My setup:
B450 Aorus M
Ryzen 5 3600
16GB G.Skill Aegis RAM
500GB NVMe SSD

Thank you for your response, but how do I do a load optimized default? Do I have to reset everything to default or should I look in the OC section of the BIOS?
Hello,
With AMD RYZEN 3000 processors, you should not exceed 1.32v under load. That is, when the CPU cores are at 100%
Beyond that, the CPU starts to degrade.
Also, if you want to be sure of your overclock, don't hesitate to test its stability with programs that support AVX. If your OC is not stable, the PC will crash within 30 seconds.
Watch the temperature too. It tends to rise quickly on the ZEN 2.
Edit: I just saw your other topic where you say you set a vcore of 1.4v. You should not set it that high. You will damage your processor. If you have set an aggressive Load Line Calibration (LLC), you could even burn it out.
Another thing, at such a voltage, you will reach 90 degrees in less than 20 seconds.
You know, the Ryzen 3000 manages very well on its own. You should reset your BIOS to default and let the automatic overclocking feature do the work.
There are many tests online that highlight this feature, and honestly, manual overclocking is not really necessary anymore.
