Hi there,
First time Overclocking my rig and I had a couple of questions.
My Specs
Processor: AMD RYZEN 1700 3.0 (clocked to 3.8)
GPU: Aorus GTX 1080ti
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS X370
RAM: 16gb CORSAIR
POWER SUPPLY: Corsair 850
First question is about cooling.
I was wondering if I need to upgrade to an AIO or some sort of cooling mechanism for OCing. When i was running Heaven Benchmark my score was 3859. While I was running the benchmark, my system never ran above 75°C. I have not done any long term benchmarks yet, but I wanted to get a general sense for my rig before I invest in that. Do I need to gather more information before I buy one, or is my system ventilation enough to get by? Reading online indicated that anywhere between 70-80 seems to hit the spot, but I did not know if my system would continue to gradually increase in temperature from OCing overtime.
Second (I guess a little more off topic)
Is a 3859 Heaven Benchmark considered a decent score? I was looking at some scores online and seemed pretty intimidated by them lol, I think my rig is pretty strong for what it's worth. Not sure if that is where I should be, or higher/lower.
Third (Almost forgot)
When in BIOS I run my ddr memory at 2667. I read online that the Ryzen is a little shaky at 3000, but while I was bench marking it said memory at 4000 if i recall. Does that mean I can go up to that? Sorry if I sound like a noob, just doing this for the first time.
I really appreciate all your help!

3200 MHz ram is good enough for me. ram improvement is kind of marginal past certain point, 3000+ should be good enough for now.
