I have spent two weeks researching my issues and this site has turned into my preferred goto to ask questions. I'm trying to set the first post up for easy reading to others (people who may help or looking for similar answers). Therefor I separate information so it is not an abundance to read.
Current Pc
MoBo: Gigabyte 990fxa ud3 Rev 4.0
CPU: AMD FX-8320
CPU Cooler: Coolmaster 212evo
PSU: Thermaltake smart 750w 80+B
GPU: Sapphire r9 280 dual x
Memory: Kingston hyper 8gb x1 1600
Current bios
Power saving, c states, cool'n quiet, turbo core, etc. =DISSABLED
vcore:auto
Dvcore: +0.08750v
FSB: 203
Multi: 21.5
Bios has latest version
Problems
1) Having trouble changing voltage
2) Serious voltage drops under load
3) Can't get past 4.36ghz
DEFINING PROBLEM 1&2
First off. Not liking the new bios. It was so much easier to navigate and change values back in the day. I have available two settings. Vcore voltage and dynamic voltage. I have tried setting just the vcore and for some reason it always loads with the default value no matter what. Confirmed in bios after reboot, cpuz, and hwmonitor. I was able to get it to read 1.414 by adding the +0.1 in dynamic. Stock voltage ( 1.37xx) plus 0.1 should have given it nearly 1.5 which seems pretty high. But it only reads 1.414. When starting prime95 voltage drops extremely low. (can't remember exactly values because I'm at work) roughly to 1.332ish. I advised the cpu voltage line calibration to extreme. No difference. So I I have how I have to adjust the dvcore. Is there anyway to set the vcore and it sticks? Also, the voltage drop, what should I do?
DEFINING PROBLEM 3
Yes yes, I know, shouldn't touch the fsb. But I wanted to get as close as possible without failed cores in prime95. 4.40 w/ 22x multi fails cores. Now because I have the above problem I really can't push this to the limit. With the above settings. 15 minutes on prime95 test, I'm stable @ 4.36ghz at a max temp of 49 cpu 52ish socket. Case is off because I bought a case that doesn't fit this huge Volkswagen heatsink. I would like to get at least a full ghz With eease . I'm going to take a guess people may say my psu.

I was surprised. Voltage did drop to 1.404. Cpu maxed at 51oC / socket maxed at 54oC
