I increased the CPU speed to 3.9 on the stock cooler using a voltage of 1.2875, and it stayed stable. After a few days of stress testing, it reached about 85°C during peak load, which is not uncommon for a gamer. Is this level acceptable? Should I lower the voltage or overclock limit a bit? I'm not very experienced with CPU temperatures.

Safe for Ryzen, though it's a bit warm for my taste. Are you checking temperatures using Ryzen Master?

85c is a bit high, but for games it's unlikely to reach that level.
You were probably using something to push the CPU and check the monitor temperatures. The CPU should stay cooler in games with benchmarks that use AVX instructions.

Completely compatible with Ryzen Master. The software I utilized was Cinebench and Prime95.

I upgraded my cooler by swapping out the fans. I started with the original balance fans, then switched to performance fans for maximum noise, and finally replaced them with Corsair ML120 Pro Blue fans.

I think you can reduce the original volume if you prefer higher temperatures, or switch to a more effective cooler. The standard cooler is quite solid, but it isn't really designed for high OC rates.
This would be an affordable alternative that works well (it did for me) and also looks decent.

For maintaining the OC at lower temperatures, consider exploring a tower cooler such as this one:
