I have Gigabyte F2A55M-DS2 as my motherboard with ambient temperature of about 30℃.
The base clock is 3.8Ghz (4.2 on turbo).I wish to achieve 4.4 Ghz atmost so kindly help me with this .

Go ahead. I personally overclocked my CPU to 4.7 GHz at 1.49V using just a tower cooler. 4.4-4.5 at ~1.4V should be okay.

If anything goes wrong Ryzen R3/5 will be perfect for gaming.

Overclocking generates heat, Looks like a pretty high OC so I personally would move to an AIO
