Solution
Go in to BIOS and adjust the frequency multiplier, stress test, repeat all previous actions until crash, increase voltage (VCore), repeat all previous actions until one of the following:

High temperatures (below 80 is usually considered safe)
High Voltages (Around 1.5)
You are satisfied

You shouldn't need to overclock the CPU. The FX-4300 won't be bottlenecking an R7 240 anyway, so if you have performance issues, it's almost certainly the R7 240. Unless we're talking about Minecraft or something that only uses 1 core with very little graphical activity.
