I am new to overclocking and I need help,

my pc specs
CPU- FX-6300 clocked at 4.6 GHZ 1.5 volts
Video Card- GTX 960 Asus Strix 4 GB (stock clock)
Motherboard- Gigabyte 970a-d3p
RAM- 16 GB G-Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1866(clocked at 1600 for some reason my motherboard wont let me clock it at 1866)
Case- NZXT H440
SSD- Kingston 120 GB
HDD- 1.8 TB Seagate
PSU- Cooler Master 600 watts

When I overclock and I play BO3 I get really big lag spikes, my fps raises but I get these huge lag spikes, I gave the cpu more then enough volts, I gave it 1.5 volts and I clocked it at 4.6 ghz, these lag spikes happen every 10-20 seconds, it makes bo3 unplayable, it does not effect other games. When I lower the clock it still does the same thing it is really annoying, could some one at least explain what is going on.

You need to learn about overclocking before you just randomly throw numbers out there. Start at the lowest voltage you can then test. The correct way is to raise clock speeds without touching voltage. Find the lowest stable voltage AT STOCK SPEEDS. Then slowly raise clock speeds till you become unstable. THEN AND ONLY THEN start to raise the voltage little by little till you become stable.....then raise clock speeds some more till you become unstable and then again slowly raise voltage. All the while watching temps of the cpu AND the mobo. If you have a cheap motherboard which it seems you do i would not overclock at all. I'd get a better quality board OR raise clock speeds till you become unstable and stop at whatever the highest known...

Chipset, sounds like it is overheating or the socket! Would be lowering the voltage to its normal setting and increase slowly until stable. Just hitting 1.5 straight of is putting pressure on the components.

I will try that RN

UPDATE: I put the volts at 1.46 volts, I will check to see if it is stable and see if it helps with the lag at all

ok i will put volts down to 1.4
not anything over, do u think this would fix it, or would it need to be lower, and will I have to put the ghz lower on my cpu??

well over the summer I am upgrading my pc, and I am using rev.2.0, I forgot to mention. Is that still a bad mother board, even the rev 2 and so far 4.4 ghz is hard to get stable :)

UPDATE: got 4.4 ghz stable

yea but it is unstable at 4.6 ghz, any lower, idk I could have put the volts at like 1.38790 or something like that, but it was unstable at 1.38358 volts so I skipped it and went straight to 1.39 volts since it was the next chose anyways.
