What's Wrong With My Overclock?

[Shlutka]

Hi, I've really wanted to overclock my CPU lately, I do know how to overclock, but I'm flabbergasted on why my overclock is doing barely anything. I mean, is it even worth it?

SPECS:
Motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Revision 4
CPU: FX-8320 (Hyper 212 EVO)
GPU: Sapphire TRI-X R9 290 @ stock
RAM: 2 x 4gb G.Skill Ripjaw 1600mhz.
HDD: 1 x 1tb Western Digital Blue 7200rpm
PSU: Rosewill Photon 750w 80+ Gold Rating

I ran benchmarks in Heaven Benchmark 4.0 to show you.

CPU @ 4.4ghz [1.425v] (Bios Settings Changed: HPC: On, SPC: Off, C&Q: On http://i.imgur.com/F8b3SeA.jpg

Perhaps I missed something? Possibly some settings need to be tweaked? I have a bottleneck? If you spot anything wrong with my build / configuration please help me with it.

Thank you all in advance.

The benchmark you are running is a GPU benchmark, try using 3DMark and look at your CPU score.

I'm not looking for CPU performance, I'm looking for gaming performance out of my CPU. (FPS)

Did you got through http://www.overclock.net/t/1348623/amd-bulldozer-and-piledriver-overclocking-guide-asus-motherboard ?

8320 won't OC as good as 8350. You might get 4.6 if you have a good CPU.

Here, knock yourself out with benchmarks!

Pretty standard CPU oriented ones would be cinebench, calculating pi, wprime.... tons to choose from.

You won't really get any extra performance from overclocking your CPU unless it is bottlenecking.
