In short, I did a free build and only added an SSD and a T4 cooler.
Build specs: Asus - F1A55-M LX PLUS R2.0 Micro ATX FM1 board, A8 3850 CPU with T4 cooler, 8GB RAM, 500W PSU, FirePro v4800 GPU, 250GB SSD.

I'm using some outdated components. What am I aiming to achieve? Is this related to gaming or computing tasks?

I was looking for free components to try in a free build, just buying a cooler and SSD. It's a solid way to start learning OCs without any risk.

Sure, that makes sense. You can find a guide for overclocking here. I would really suggest using this. Keep in mind, doing an OC isn't just a quick fix—it's a process of trial and error that might take hours, weeks, or even days to get the right settings.

When I checked it on my lunch break, it seemed like the mb could be okay. I’ll be leaving work at 5:30, so I’ll be fixing it then.

When I checked it on my lunch break, it seemed like the mb could get me off work at 5:30, so I’ll be dealing with it then. No worries, good luck.

That's a pretty minor issue, but I'm eager to test it once back home. However, could you adjust the voltage to high and see what happens instead of raising the temperature?

Thanks, that's a pretty minor point to focus on. I'm eager to get back home and test it out, but I was curious if you could adjust the voltage to high without risking overheating. Just want to avoid damaging it beyond just raising the temperature. Yes, you can do that. It's best to stick to safe levels—anything above 1.4v seems risky. Even 1.35v is enough to cause trouble. I usually try small adjustments in .05 increments, but it's mostly trial and error.

To determine if you're pushing too hard when at a stable temperature, consider your body's signals and adjust accordingly.

How do you determine if you're pushing too much when the temperature is stable? If the system doesn't crash during your stability test, then it's safe. This will indicate proper performance.
