yup your overclock at 4.0 and above needs to increase voltage to remain stable.

lowering your OC proves that, also the significant increase in heaven benchmark.

when OC'ing, use cpu-z application to check the stability. also read-up on the safe limits of your cpu on other threads before you continue.
Also, are all power save options, in particular APM, turned OFF in BIOS? These do not get along with overclocking and can cause unexpected core clock changes, slow downs and instability.

Also, what is your PSU and what are your load temps? You should be able to do 4.2-4.4 GHz easily with a good cooler.

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 is a good board with 8+2 phase power. But your PSu needs to be able to feed both the CPU/motherboard and GPU to stay fast and stable.
