You can, but not on that motherboard unless you want to fry it. That PSU is something to change as well.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION
AIO: Corsair H150i Pro RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic PSU: Corsair RM850x White

You can overclock that CPU but I highly recommend to learn some basics about overclocking first before doing it.

Apart from that stress test your hardware on stock speeds before starting to overclock  ;)

That cannot be right unless you're outside. Idle temps are ambient temps plus a few.

It's an AMD cpu they don't have temp sensors, it's calculated based on power conditions and is famously inaccurate at low temps :P

 

Anyway op you can but that board isn't exactly great. expect 4-4.2ghz :)
