So i'm running an AMD 8120 with an R7 260x 2GB video card and 1333 8 GB 99924 RAM (took this RAM out of my old comp while waiting for my Hyperx to come in). When I overclock it over 3.4 my graphics on games i try to run goes really slow...to the point of 25-30 fps. I'm not sure what to adjust to fix this? Anyone got a clue.

Hmm, that PSU should be delivering plenty of juice...

And your mobo has a robust power delivery system so I don't think it's holding your CPU back.

Only thing I can think of is temperatures--if the 8120 gets too hot it'll throttle its speed waaaaay down or restart to prevent damage to the CPU. That may be what's happening. What CPU cooler are you using? If it's the stock AMD cooler then I'd definitely bet that your CPU is thermally throttling as the stock cooler isn't designed for ANY overclocking.

If you're getting 90fps why overclock?

I'm running speed fan and i did a test all the way up to 4400mhz where after that it got unstable but it never reached over 52 degrees C. Ive got a cooler master 212 evo. I just want to be able to figure out the issue cause i would like to do video editing on it soon.
