I got a new PC with a Ryzen 9 10900K CPU that has 16GB of RAM but I can't find an easy way to make it run faster. The motherboard is the Z490 and it's paired with a 360mm Arctic Liquid Freezer, while the GPU is a bit older model from 2018. It works well for gaming right now so I'm only using the CPU at around 5.3GHz. However, my plan is to upgrade later when I find some software that lets me safely test if it can handle higher speeds and temperatures. Currently everything runs cool with idle temps staying under 40C and game temps hitting about 60C. If you have any tips for tweaking these settings or finding a better way to push the CPU, I'd love to hear them!

Why do you have to check if everything is safe before moving forward?
