Help overclocking FX-6350

[Sam Wallace]

Hey guys,
So I have a pretty good rig:
Nvidia gtx 1060, amd fx-6350, 8gb ram with 3.9 ghz, and windows 10. The problem is that I feel as if im being bottlenecked with the CPU because the GPU I literally just bought the other day and the same was going on with my old card the r9 260x. My motherboard is an asrock n68c-gs. I tried to overclock it last night but it would turn black and I would have to reset the cmos after 6 or 7 attempts. I have an updated bios version with the latest but I have no idea on how to overclock this cpu with the motherboard since nobody has the same online.
Last night I tried to boost the cpu freq. To 260 and it never booted. Had to reset cmos battery.

Okay so I should just focus on the cpu freq and just change that right?

yes x 0.5 at a time doing stability test/ temp checking each time
