Maintain voltage under 1.4v and temperatures below 75c. I believe your cooler will handle it easily. Just adjust the stock voltages gradually. Don’t stress if it crashes—it’s just safeguarding itself. You might need to slightly increase the voltage. For the CPU, using VDDCR Load Line Calibration can help prevent voltage drops during overclocking when under load. There are many online tutorials for this. If you proceed slowly, you won’t harm your CPU. Regarding the GPU, you can also tweak its clock speed in BIOS by adjusting memory frequency. But you may need a BIOS update for that. Also, if you perform a BIOS update, reset it to default settings beforehand.
Sorry for asking too much, but what’s the VDDCR Load Line Calibration? Could you share a simple link if possible?

It helps maintain your CPU voltage during heavy load, as shown in the BIOS. You can locate it in your manual.
Thanks for your assistance, sir—it's really helpful.
You're welcome!
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Best regards.
I believe you have everything needed for a straightforward overclock. YouTube is excellent, as are numerous other resources. Maybe your RAM will reach its maximum speed now. Give it a try and observe the results. GL.
You currently have just one stick of RAM left. The setup is built for dual-channel operation, so ideally two identical sticks from the same supplier should work perfectly. RAM is most reliable when bought in a complete kit. When you start overclocking, set your BIOS target speed and try to boot Windows at standard voltage. If it doesn’t boot, gradually increase the voltage and repeat until it works. Once operational, perform stress tests to verify stability. To speed up voltage adjustments, begin with 1.35V and adjust only after confirming the CPU target is correct. This should help you reach a stable overclock without complications. Enjoy the process—there’s no need to worry.

You’re left with just one stick of RAM now. The setup seems built for dual-channel operation. Ideally, two sticks of the same size from the same supplier, matching in every aspect. RAM is most reliable when bought as a kit. When overclocking, set your BIOS target speed and try to boot into Windows under normal voltage. If it doesn’t work, gradually raise the voltage and repeat until you get a boot. After successful boot, perform stress tests to verify stability. You might shortcut the voltage increments by starting at 1.35V with your CPU target already set—this could help reach the right level more quickly. These are the basic steps before moving on to memory overclocking. Enjoy the process... don’t worry.
Obviously, he could only afford one stick initially. I’m sure he’ll follow up with any questions. Are you feeling confident about this?
I successfully increased my frequency to 4125MHz by utilizing the UEFI on my Asus motherboard. The main issues I face are similar to those reported by most AMD and nVidia users after Windows 10 FCU (unexpected BSODs).
