Yes, your 3700x overclocking is within typical ranges for that hardware.

the ryan 5 2600 stays stable past 100°C without shutting down, which suggests the 'max' temperature is more about ideal long-term use than a strict cutoff. this is my take on it.
overclocking my 2600 runs smoothly without any issues, allowing it to reach temperatures above 100°C effortlessly. Manual clock adjustments don’t trigger throttling afterward.
There is a setting there that allows for override of throttling. I don't remember what it's called but I used it on my old FX machine because my weak VRM throttled the CPU due to the 8 cores. So what I did I took the stock cpu fan and strapped it to the VRM heatsink and hit that option. Regardless as heat rises instability comes whether you notice it or not. But hey up to you man, aftermarket coolers aren't that expensive but your choice.
In my view, frequency leads to instability first, but it doesn’t really matter since I’m generally too lazy to overclock my CPU these days.
