This setup seems promising. The Artic freezer II 240 is a solid choice, and boosting your CPU to 4.2 should help performance. It’s worth testing in-game to see the impact.

CPU overclocking offers limited benefit for games unless the GPU can handle it. For better performance, focus on upgrading the GPU instead.

You're actually underperforming by limiting it to 4.2Ghz—it naturally rises to 4.6Ghz on its own. That core voltage is significantly higher than what's needed for that low clock speed (the CPU should run at 4.7Ghz at 1.35V). Also, the temperatures at 90°C in a 240mm AIO aren't ideal; it likely relates to your voltage settings (the CPU is rated at 65W while yours is drawing 150W).
