I clocked the cpu with Overdrive to 4.4GHz. The problem is that i don't have any performance with gta 5, its opposite, it just lowers it, ive had gameplay from stock clock on about 25-60fps, and with overclocked to 7-20fps. (Also when i overclock i get basic theme of windows 7 and i can't change it)
And it's not the overheating problem, ive had overheating problems in the past when it reached 105 celsius when playing, and now i bought Hyper 212 Evo cooler so at gameplay its on about 70-75 celsius
 


Sapphire R7 265 is a bad solution?
 


CPU: A10 6800K
GPU: R7 265 Sapphire crossfire
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-DS3
Ram: Adata 8gb 1600Mhz (I also have a separate Kingston hyperx genesis 4gb 1600Mhz stick)
CPU cooler: Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo
PSU: Codegen 500W
HDD: 1Tb
 


Okay i did it, i clocked from 4.1 to 4.8 and voltage 0.074+ . But there is no much difference when i play gta 5
 
Your motherboard is not very good and is not meant for overclocking. Your motherboard is throttling your cpu since it can't handle the extra heat output. That's why you are getting worse results when overclocked, your A10 is actually spending more time in low power states probably at 2.0ghz. That's why your fps are worse when you try to overclock, and that also explains why your temps are decent.
 


Okay so i tried overclocking to bios, thing is that it didin't changed theme thankfully. But when i overclock no matter how many, it still doesn't change anything, it goes to about 20-45 fps. I don't think its the mobo, i tried even lowering resolution and advanced settings, but it still keeps the same frame rate.
 
You said in your original post, you get better performance at stock speeds than you do when you overclock. That means that you are running higher clock speeds at stock than you are when overclocked. How is that possible? It's because motherboards have a built in fail safe called throttling. Instead of overheating and damaging itself, the motherboard will automatically undervolt and downclock the cpu in order to keep safe temps. All current cpus have dedicated low power states.
