Here are the system details you provided:

The setup includes an AMD FX 8320 (Duh), MSI R7 370 with 2 GB OC, Gigabyte 970A-DS3P, a Cx-750 (750 Watt), 240 GB SSD, and a 1TB HDD. RAM is 16 GB G.Skill 1866 Mhz, paired with a Corsair C400 case. The cooling system features a LEPA AquaChanger 120 for cooling, along with 1 140mm and 2 120mm thermal take-on case fans.

Benchmark results show the processor reaching stable speeds around 4.2 GHz at 41°C, with idle temperatures near 35°C. Despite adjusting voltages and OC settings, achieving higher frequencies consistently proves challenging. Previous models have reached up to 4.5Ghz. Any advice would be appreciated.
