I have been playing minecraft all the time and my cpu is att 100% load all the time according to task manager. I just began to get lower fps than normal.

So i decided to overclock it just to get a little bit more performance out of it.

The stock speed of the cpu is 3.1 GHz so after about 6-8 hours of overclocking, bumping up the voltage and stress testing with prime95, it was all stable at 3.7 GHz, and the temp is at 45-48 C at full load with the stock cooler.

The problem is that the cpu still is at 100% full load at minecraft, and im still getting low fps.

I thought that by overclocking my cpu, i would get over 30 fps but i dont.

I have no idéa what to do now, cus i have always gotten 50+ fps before.

Thank you for helping :)
