I'm using an AMD FX 4300 and I'm looking into safe overclocking options. I need to find out which settings are suitable for my setup. My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-78L MT USB3 AM4+ and I have a PSU of 550 watts with a cooler in stock.

You haven't mentioned doing this before, and you're not altering the Voltage but focusing on CPU Clock Ratio to X20.

Using a Stock cooler allows for a performance of 4.2 to 4.3ghz, and you can easily increase the multiplier without any problems.

Can you share the setting for overclocking means the voltage and all

You haven't mentioned doing this before, and you're focusing on CPU Clock Ratio instead of Voltage.
1. Install the Stress Testing and Heat monitoring tools.
2. View the provided video for a quick overview.
3. Restart into BIOS mode.
4. Navigate to CMOS Settings.
5. Find the CPU CLOCK RATIO value.
6. Adjust it to X20.
7. Save changes and exit BIOS.
8. Launch Temp Monitoring Software, then perform a stress test lasting one hour.
9. If temperatures remain stable across the CPU and motherboard, increase the Clock Ratio to X22 and retry.
Good operating temperatures are around 72°C under load; exceeding this may cause throttling, reducing the Clock Ratio to X7 until temperatures decrease, or leading to crashes.
X22 is the recommended setting unless you have superior cooling or in-depth knowledge of your system beyond that point.

I reached 4.3 ghz at 65 c with good results and the antek kuhler 650 is performing well.
