Number 1 rule of OC. Baby steps. Begin with small changes, secure all cores, then evaluate. Monitor the temperatures. Increase the multiplier by one, re-test.
There are some solid testing tools available, my choices are Coretemp, realtemp, Ryzen Master, Prime95 small fft with AVX disabled (just for temps), and Asus RealBench for stability.
With air cooling, run a p95 test for 5 minutes. Use liquid cooling for a 30-minute test, then pause for another 15 minutes on p95. Check temperatures using Coretemp or Ryzen Master (if applicable).

Lol. That's not a rule. That's a necessity. There's no rule saying you must wear shinguards and a cup when playing soccer, but only a fool with a death-wish would try. Same applies to OC. Need correct equipment, or don't play, it's not pretty if you catch a foot where it doesn't belong.
