I understand CountMike's perspective.
My setup includes a 2600 OC'd to 4 Ghz on an Asus ROG Strix B450-F, paired with an Arctic 33 eSports Edition cooler and a mesh front case that provides strong airflow and cooling.
As long as you install a quality aftermarket cooler and maintain good case ventilation, temperatures should stay under control.
I will use the MA620P, a dual fan cooler, along with a case that features a mesh front panel and already has three built-in fans. The room temperature is approximately 20°C.
I was concerned about the PSU, is it sufficient for the OC?
It has an 80+ gold rating and 230V, along with a quiet 120mm fan, but I’d like your thoughts.
The situation seems acceptable, ambient or room temperature is ideal.
The Cooler Master MA620P appears to be in good shape and should function properly.
The Cooler Master MWE 750 Gold seems like a reasonably solid PSU and will likely work well even with the CPU at higher temperatures.
I recommend proceeding.
Just take your time and verify stability during testing.
I spent several hours daily over a week adjusting and checking stability for my 2600 and RAM on that system.
