I thought overclocking my CPU would improve the FPS in h1z1 so I decided to overclock it. Every since I overclocked my CPU to 3.9ghz @1.225 the game (H1Z1) started to look laggy in a way and not smooth on HIGH pixel quality. but when I turn it down to Medium it's fine. GPU usage is at 99% when the game runs and CPU is around 60%.

Is my GPU not able to render the high settings?

would overclocking the GPU help?

Solution
That is exactly what that means, the graphics card is being use to its full potential, but the processor is not. So you have room to gain performance in a new graphics card.
