increasing the cpu speed causes the computer to start failing to boot
I reduced the clock speed of my fx 8350 from 1.41+ volts to 1.35 just to test the effect. I was able to achieve an overclock of 4.6mhz without any crashes in Windows. I can play games, but when I restart the PC it briefly powers on for about three seconds before turning off and rebooting again. I’m unsure if this will harm my components or not. What should I do?
It shouldn't cause any issues, but it's not passing the initial POST probably due to instability. If it's stable enough for your PC tasks, I wouldn't have concerns. However, I've noticed that minor instability can affect performance. If you're unsure, consider running a CPU benchmark like cinebench R15 at 1.35v 4.6ghz and 1.41v 4.6ghz to compare scores. This might confirm if it's acceptable at lower speeds.

Usually you should adjust the BIOS rather than the OS. It seems your settings aren't as consistent as you believe. I'm doing it in the BIOS.
