Why my stock cpu is higher than the overclock cpu when it comes to cinebench scores I don't really know the reasons behind this but my overclock is good the voltage itself is good too

It's most likely an unstable overclock.

I agree with Loaf, Sounds like an unstable overclock.

A few things though, what FX CPU do you have?
What motherboard do you have?

There were a lot of motherboards back then that would work with a FX 8 core CPU but couldn't handle the CPU once its overclocked, a lot of boards, lower ends ones would ended up throttling the CPU under load when the VRM's got to hot. so it would be nice to know what motherboard you are using.
