So everytime I try to overclock my Fx-6300 I always get boot fails and such

But one other attempt I ((think)) I successfully overclocked my CPU because everything booted and worked, I was running 4.1ghz (I knew this through CPU-ID) temps were fine, etc, but I put my pc to sleep for an hour and got back to it, everything failed again, I've tried fiddling around with the Vcore voltage, NB voltage, etc.

I just want to know the steps on how to OC my Fx-6300 CPU to 4.1GHz safely and properly.(what appropiate voltages, etc)
I also have tried bumping up the voltage, trying to change the DRAM frequency but couldnt set it to my appropiate ram MHZ(1600, DDR3), etc

MOBO: Asrock 970 Extreme3
UEFI BIOS
Any questions and help is appreciated

ps. im new to OC'ing

 
Solution
Try AMD overdrive and look on YouTube for instructions, keep in mind to only download from the official AMD website and read all the warnings in the program.

Hi thanks for the response. The fact is I dont fully understand the steps or on how to /properly/ do what those people are explaining especially on my specific BIOS/Mobo. I just want to know the steps simply.
