Well, I have a 970a-d3 rev. 3.0 mobo, I know it sucks for OC, but still, I raised the voltage to 1.404v and multiplier by 22 and got 4.4 ghz, disabled every power saving feature, booted up, started prime95, 46 minutes, cpu 99% usage all the time, no problems, but What I noticed is that the cpu still underclocked itself for temperatures, but still, the air coming out of the 212 evo that goes out straight from a top fan, wasn't even that hot, and the case wasn't even warm, so my guess is that the motherboard throttled it down, well, it goes like this, I stopped the test at 46 minutes and run cinebench r15, impressive results, from 599 to 670, but render time took noticeably less time, everything OK until I shut down the computer and when I booted it up.. 2 secs and it shuts down, another boot up, weird sound coming up from either the HDD or the disc reader, but booted up ok, the same happenned three times in a row that I was testing until I set my cpu to stock voltage and frequency, what does that mean? of course I will never OC again in this shitty ass mobo.
What does this mean? (cpu OC)

Its a safety feature mate , the dual BIOS kicks in to ensure if your overclock settings are bad that the PC can still boot.
I assume you disabled turbo core??
Re enabling it & setting the turbo clock to the same speed as your base clock sometimes stops it doing this.
Its fixed on newer boards via bios updates but yours is an old board, you are pushing it overclocking an 8350 though in all honesty.
