Processor FX 6300
RAM: 8GB
Motherboard: ASRock 970M Pro3
Graphics Card: Geforce 730

Just as the title says, I overclock my CPU using AMD Overdrive to a very safe clock of 4.1Ghz (CPU=200MHz, Multplier= 20.5x) but it makes all videos (online and actually on my PC) and games judder horribly, everything else works perfectly fine, no crashes no nothing. Any ideas what's going on? I noticed on Minecraft where I can see the internal clock of the game that the timing goes whacky (goes backwards and forwards). I even tried increasing the processor speed only 100Mhz and same problem. Any experience of this?

Also doesn't really help to overclock in AMD Overdrive / VIA OS...
Always best to do it VIA BIOS.
I had a8-7650k and every time I would overclock through AMD overdrive I would get choppy video playbacks etc.
But overclocking through BIOS worked perfectly.

Just to overclock it 100Mhz shouldn't need the voltage increased should it? And from memory maximum temperature I've seen it at is about 55°C

Just to add some details, overclocking by 200MHz (because I can't do it in 100MHz increments I just realised) causes all the issues I get with overclocking it to 4.0Mhz so it shouldn't be a voltage thing. Plus I upped the voltage to 1.35 which should be more than enough. My temperatures all through this are staying at a stead 35 degrees C. What I can add is that when looking at the stats for nerds on youtube the dropped frames section is phenomenal, like 75% of the frames drop (opposed to basically 0 when not overclocking), which seems to be the case when I do any gaming... So the real question is: Why does overclocking mean I lose frames?
