ok so ive been trying to overclock my FX 6300 to 4100Mhz and im able to reach that and its all fine thermally but i test it for about 5-15 mins and 1 of the cores fails the test. while doing thsi i had the ram at 1600mhz so i decided to drop teh ram speeds to 1333Mhz and the core didnt fail. the thing with having my ram at 1333 is that its not even stretching its legs as its 2133Mhz ram and i would liek to atleast have it at 1600 mhz. do i need to turn up the voltages or something for my cpu?

You need to do a bit of research first eg http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/5103-a-guide-to-overclocking-the-amd-fx-series-and-some-info-on-ocing-in-generall/

Got a good cooler and mobo?
