I overclocked my CPU and am having trouble with temperatures.
It is mostly up to you to decide the overclocking temperature limit. Many users stick to 80-90 degrees, keeping stability in mind. A better CPU cooler could let you push the limit further while reducing temps under load. From your specs, cooling is just listed as "liquid," so I’m not sure. You might want to check if there’s a way to identify your fans.
It is mostly up to you to decide the overclocking temperature limit. Many users stick to 80-90 degrees as the maximum stable temperature. This also lets for a possible boost with a better CPU cooler, which can lower CPU temps under load. Based on your specs, do you have adequate cooling? Your specifications only mention liquid cooling, so I’m not sure. There might be a way to check your fan setup by opening the PC and inspecting them. Details could also be found in your sales invoice or on iBUYPOWER’s model page along with your PC’s information.
120mm aio in that pc. Figure equitable to Corsair H55/H60. If lucky, there's a second fan in the intake. 4.3GHz is about as high as reasonable on the older gen cpus and still maintain decent temps on the 140w cooler range like the 120mm or budget coolers like the hyper212. 4.5GHz is pushing the limits as gaming temps will be closer to 60-65°C. Really needs the next size up, a mid grade cooler like the Cryorig H5, NH-D14 etc or a 140mm aio to bring 4.5GHz gaming back into the mid-high 50s and for low-mid 50s you'd need the larger coolers 240/280mm aio or Cryorig R1, NH-D15S etc.
But that's all dependent on budget, and case dimensions. 240mm aio won't be a problem on that case, but a 160mm tall good air cooler just might not fit.

So, my computer cant handle my cpu being oc to 4.5ghz rn?
idk i have a lot of people telling me i can with what fans i have on it
share some pictures of the cooler, radiators, and fans.
the box mentions liquid cooling with a fan connected to the CPU.
it looks like this one: http://www.howiesreviews.com/computers/d...wer-bb931/ but without the case and with different RAM/motherboard.
here are some pictures of the cooler, radiators, and fans. it’s actually from http://www.howiesreviews.com/computers/d...wer-bb931/, but without the case and with different ram or motherboard. to address your query, i’d say that for aftermarket cpu coolers, you basically have a basic all-in-one water cooler at the entry level.
The original query mentions extra overclocking potential but notes limited results. It suggests more cooling might be necessary to boost performance further, as you indicated being in the high 80s C.
here are some pictures of the cooler, radiators, and fans. the box mentions it is liquid cooled with one fan running to the cpu. it looks like this model: http://www.howiesreviews.com/computers/d...wer-bb931/ without the case and with different ram/motherboard. a 120mm fan cooler should work fine. however, any cooler requires fresh air to function properly. it’s unclear what your intake is. remove the side cover and share a photo of the inside. if using a house fan helps lower temps, consider upgrading to a better case and cpu cooler.
