I created my initial CPU project and am unsure about overclocking or what is safe for my setup.

I just assembled my initial gaming setup and am uncertain about overclocking or what is safe for my hardware. I want to boost both the CPU and GPU performance. Thank you in advance for your guidance.
Use MSI afterburner to modify GPU voltage settings. Set VCore voltage and CPU speed in BIOS to OC CPU configuration. Follow the video link for guidance; proceed slowly and be prepared to reset BIOS multiple times. Keep an eye on monitor temperature throughout the process. Test stability with AIDA64 or real bench.

Blue screen, crash, no boot indicates instability. Reset BIOS and restart. You can discharge the CMOS battery on the MB for a minute and then reinsert it to reset. Begin with a lower target voltage and gradually increase it. HWinfo is useful for monitoring temperature. CPU temperature should remain below 85°C under load. Please let me know if you have any questions.
