Hi,
my motherboard is GB 990XA-UD3, XFX 550watts Bronze, XFX R9 270x. I overclocked my cpu to 4Ghz without any changes to the voltages. All voltage values are set to auto. In fact I don't know which one is the CPU!!!
Temp is mostly 24 but I know that Core Temp doesn't report the correct temp until it goes 40+. Under load it reaches 40 but with OCCT it reaches 54.
Should I increase the voltage a bit and see if I can go to 4.4Ghz?? I have my CPU temp warning set to 70 degrees so I won't burn it.
I know that I should get a cooler but I can't at the moment.

An Auto voltage setting is going to be adjusting its own voltage. It's not going to be fixed at the same rate it was out of the box.

I would strongly advise that you do it the manual way as motherboards tend to over compensate greatly. More unnecessary voltage means more power consumption, higher temps and slightly higher chip degradation.

Set the temp warning at 62c on the core. Make certain that it's not the socket temp it's actually relating to because that tends to go about 8-10c higher.

I wouldn't push it much farther under the stock sink tbh I bet it sounds like a plane engine at the moment.

Thanks, It's not noisy at all. Maybe when I fire up OCCT.
So you want me to manually enter voltages? could you be more specific?
I set Voltage Loadline Calibration to high, and that's about it.
I don't know where in the setting for my mother board, gigabyte 990xa-ud3, I can learn the default of my vcore. It only gives me the option to increase or decrease it but there is a "normal" option. Is that it?

You can probably find the voltage for your CPU on a specs page somewhere. I haven't used the 6300 dude.

Basic jist of overclocking is to see how far you can go on certain voltages, while keeping an eye on temps, when it fails a stability test then you up the voltage a bit more - Take it gradually.
Run each test for about 10 minutes each time.
Disable TurboCore, and for the moment all of the other settings like CoolN'Quiet, C6 State etc... Those can be turned on later.

The Piledriver chips go a fair few MHz on 'stock' volts, providing you have a nicely calibrated CPU LLC - I find an Ultra High setting to be my sweet spot on that, the others end up using slightly less volts than what I set them to in the BIOS due to Vdrop/Droop. This of course varies from board to board.
Use HWMonitor to keep an eye on both the voltages and temps. The temp node to use is the one under your CPU, not the one that actually says 'CPU' - That'll be reading the socket.

Kinda. It doesn't read much, but it does read the core temp (duh) and not socket temp.
HWMonitor just has everything.
