I own an i5-9600KF on an MSI Z390 Tomahawk with an EVGA 600W overclocked to 4.8 with turbo ratio. Almost all settings are auto, except CPU which is manually adjusted. I previously overclocked it to 5.8 and replaced the CPU—now I’m considering pushing it to 5GHz. Temperatures and voltages remain stable, no crashes during overclocking, PSU performance is consistent, and both GPU and memory are functioning normally. Is it safe to try a 5GHz boost?

You might want to reconsider. Going to 5.8 wasn't done with care. The PSU is causing me concern. EVGA offers a decent PSU of around 600W.
