Seeking additional performance gains through overclocking. Current build details: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MXY4k6. General advice on CPU and GPU overclocking. Airflow concerns with only two exhaust fans in the case. Power supply limits and any worries? Appreciate the help!

the case has fans on both sides and top, so adding airflow is necessary to reduce temperature. this requires two front fans for intake, using the same CPU, and ensuring strong airflow inside the case for overclocking.

you need to install two front fans and ensure your RAM stays below 2666 from the maker link; enable axmp in uefi for RAM and verify the CPU reaches up to 3400 at the desired speed using hwinfo.

Thanks for your reply, but I’m still a bit unclear. I think it would be best to include two front intake fans.
