When overclocking Voltage my clockspeed goes down to 1.2ghz from 3.87ghz

A while ago after an update in the Gigabyte Bios I had all sorts of problems. I started having coil whine on my 1080 and nothing worked properly. Thankfully I managed to fix all of that, but now I do have an issue that persisted. I can not seem to overclock my cpu further than what the 'AUTO' voltage allows. The reason for this is that my CPU suddenly downclocks itself to a mere 1.2 ghz or something the like and nothing seems to be left of that voltage overclock either. I overclocked the CPU voltage at all kinds of heights. Even the minus ones, but no matter what happend if it wasn't on AUTO it wouldn't go to the clock speed I chose.

CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 1600
MB: Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3-CF
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080 (Gigabyte)

So I was wondering what the issue is and if anyone could lend me some knowledge.

/edit/
Cant mark my own answer as resolved for some reason so I'll just put it here:
Updating BIOS was the solution
