You have a good CPU cooler, I believe. If your CPU is strong enough, you can reach around 4.8GHz. When you try to overclock, avoid using auto voltage—it can damage temperatures. Use manual control instead. There are plenty of guides on YouTube. The safe maximum temperature is about 80°C. Exceeding that is harmful to the CPU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZPy6xMhtso

I’m not sure how to post pictures here to show my CPU and HWMonitor. If you could let me know, I’d be happy to add some and check if I’m on the right track.
