I'm just starting out with overclocking and found the concept appealing, but I'm worried I might have made a mistake or missed something important that could harm my CPU over time. What are the default settings for this processor? If I want a stable clock speed, what adjustments should I consider? I have an H100i GTX cooler paired with Arctic Silver 5 paste—does that help? Also, I'm confused about that green circle on top; can you clarify its purpose?

When everything is left on Auto and Enhanced defaults are enabled in BIOS, it correctly sets the CPU values. Any adjustment will result in overclocking or underclocking.
