I didn't intend to overclock my R5 2600X solely due to the auto boost it already provides. After testing, I observed the voltage consistently stayed around 1.4 with temperatures reaching up to 75°C. With a 240AIO installed, I performed the OC and achieved stable performance at 4.1ghz on 1.175 volts. After running Aida95 for 12 hours post-OC, temperatures remained between 50°C and 52°C. I think these high temps are linked to the significant voltage used in auto settings. From now on, I'll OC all CPUs for me. Sorry if this isn't the right forum, but I hope my experience helps someone decide in the future.

The R5 2600X can self-overclock up to 4.2Ghz, so hitting 4.1Ghz isn't that significant an increase.

This applies to every account but results in running at more than necessary voltage. That's why I OC'd me initially. I noticed it reached 4.2ghz, yet it came with a 1.42-volt cost. Thanks for understanding. I prefer losing about 0.1 GHz and maintaining 1.175 volts rather than keeping the CPU at high voltage constantly.
