i was overclocking and put my voltage up and multiplier the frequency would lock and not change even on load. (goes from 4.3GHz to 3GHz) and i cant figure out why. Also my cpu tempture never goes above 40C

computer
amd fx 6300
Corsair H100i v2
ASRock 980DE3/U3S3
Kingston HyperX Fury White 16Gb
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
PowerColor Radeon R9 280X 3GB
Corsair CXM 750W 80+ Bronze
 
Solution
Because your board isn't good enough for overclocking .
The vrms will overheat with more voltage & will throttle the CPU to bring voltage & temps back down.
