The XEON E5450 CPU with aero verkho2 cooler is paired with an ASUS P5G41T-M LX motherboard, GTX1050 2GB GPU, 1333 MHz RAM (2x), a 7200 RPM HDD, and a front fan with a rear exhaust. Since your CPU performance feels limited, you might consider overclocking cautiously for better stability and safety. For guidance, look into reliable overclocking manuals or community forums.
your best overclock setting is achieving solid temperatures with reasonable voltage, for instance my FX 6300 can be OC to 4.6ghz (stock at 3.5) using 1.39v which gives a temperature range from 25(idle) to 30(normal use/gaming) and 40c (under full load). anything above 4.6 needs significant voltage increases, leading to much higher heat output. you should aim for a balance where you can boost voltage slightly without causing excessive heat, suggesting using offset voltage and an LLC circuit at 75% or ultra high if available on your motherboard to improve stability.
