(SKIP TO THE END FOR TL;DR)
For Starters here is my current build on PC Part Picker

For starters I decided to try my hand at overclocking my CPU the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X to 4.0 Ghz (that was my goal) because I'm interested in overclocking my CPU possibly my GPU and see how far I can push these components without pushing them TOO FAR.
But first I went into the Bios and Ran My RAM at 3200 (XMP factory preset) first it showed zero issues or instability with the CPU at its default settings so I continued my focus on my CPU
as of right Now
My clock speed (which I will change in the bios after i find a stable definite clock speed and voltage but right now It is changed in Ryzen Master) is 4.3 Ghz and my voltage is 1.35v I ran it through the AIDA64 CPU stress test (since I was told it was better than Prime95's stress test) for 3 hours the highest the temperature was 69°c averaging at 62°c with a little bit of lag because I accidentally left Chrome and Discord open during the test (I believe this was the cause of the lag)
So my questions are:
Do you think that the temperature with this OC are good results ?
Do you believe I can possibly push this further or tweak it to be more optimal without pushing my components too far?
Do you have any constructive criticism I can use to further my knowledge of overclocking (especially Ryzen CPUs as I believe that approaching intel CPUs can be different I may be wrong)
I'm very new to all of this and I tried to do my research on overclocking but I'm more of a hands on learner than reading about the project or watching a video (probably the worst project to read the basics and the reference examples of other CPU OC performance and then just do it)

TLDR
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
Clock speed 4.3 Ghz
Voltage 1.35v
Ram DDR4 32GB (16x2) 3200Mhz
Average CPU Temp (AIDA64 Stress test) [3 hour test] 62°c (highest 69°c) (lowest 54°c)
Idle Temp 31°c-35°c

I tried to give all the info possible so it'd be easier for you guys to tell me if I did good or BAD and how I can make it better all feedback is accepted and I really just want to see how far I can take this (without losing my CPU in 1 year)
