I have a 5090, 64GB of RAM, and an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. It uses a basic 3-fan AIO cooler. From what I understand, you can overclock it to 5.7GHz to improve performance in simple workflows and such but everything I see online are people going to way above like 5.9ghz an involves using a large custom water block and getting deep into Curve Optimizer tuning, which can take hours (or even days) of testing each core. I’m just not willing to put that much time into it.
When I did try testing my cores, my temps immediately shot up to 90°C even hitting 95°C which made me stop right away because I don’t want to risk damaging the CPU.
That said, my temps seem fine in games. In Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1440p on max settings, my temps stay in the low 70s, maxing out around 75–76°C, even while streaming and running other programs running like spotify so I just wanna know if doing this would be fine an or my.temps hiting 90c is normal for testing curve optimizer so I can do that

during a full load test hitting 90-95c is fine and normal depending on the cooling
on curve optimizer start by negative 5 go test, both core cycler and full load, no errors repeat,
Are you doing productive work with it?
