I think by default CS:GO has frame rate limiters. May just be a simple matter of using the command fps_max 200 or whatever.

Personally I don't like the inconsistency since the CPU becomes the limiting factor. Don't want to see 400 FPS when looking at a blank wall then have it dive down to 150 while in combat. I would seek a middle ground that it can normally achieve and set the maximum around there.

What monitor do you have and does it have Freesync?
Check if Freesync or Vsync is on in your AMD command center or whatever it's called.

If you had Nvidia I could go into more detail.

Also if your monitor can only do 120 fps or OC to 144, you don't really need more. If you get more and you want more, expect screen tearing which makes the game look bad. Some games have less screen tearing, like Dota 2 for example, so you need to see how bad it is and if you're willing to give up the looks for the extra fps. And keep in mind if you are running with no sync, max fps, your CPU and GPU will go up to 100% in some cases, causing them to heat up and make noise because of the cooling.
