Yes, it's fine. You're just starting out with overclocking and have some experience.

Optimal performance comes from using PBO2 overclocking, full power limits, and +200mhz PBO settings on Zen 3. A bit more gain can be achieved with a negative curve optimizer offset—adjustments should be made in the BIOS. Once that's set, tuning memory/fclk and timing will significantly improve gaming results. Try the suggested settings with a -10 all-core CO offset to gauge improvement; if it works, I can help with memory tuning but I'll need details about your memory specs and ICs. Thaiphoon Burner is usually effective for this kind of work.
TDC staying elevated doesn't always indicate the chip is delivering 140% of its usual current unless in extreme cases like P95 small ffts. In most situations, expect around 100A at 1.25V (125W) for your standard power output unless you're using a robust AIO or custom setup.
