I have overclocked my i9 to 4.7ghz with a voltage of 1.215. when im in game my cpu is pulling a steady 4.39.. when i overclock the cpu to 5.0 ghz my cpu will be puilling a steady 4.69 ghz in game.. why is it always .3 below what i overclock it too?
 
Are you using the overclock App with the motherboard or overclocking in the BIOS? A save power setting can cause the overclock to be dumbed down a little. Also the Load line need to be set at a higher percentage or level so there is more power pushed to the chip when it requires it.
