Overclocking results in a lower benchmark score compared to the original setup.

So, i have a 7600k, 16GB of DDR4 RAM at 2400Mhz, and a r9 280x (3gb) and I did a Cinebench test and for the CPU got 701cb, I overclocked to 4.0 (Factory 3.8) and put the voltage to 1.1, and I only got 560.. I got a worse score...

the clearest explanation seems to be that it isn't a stable overclock.
Using Prime, pushing everything to full capacity doesn't cause crashes or glitches.
How long should it run?
Prime likely needs to be tested for 12 to 24 hours to confirm if it's a suitable overclock.
Another possibility is turning off the turbo (maybe?) since the turbo speed for that chip is around 4.2.
the clearest explanation is likely due to the lack of consistent stability in the overclocking process.
The clearest explanation is likely that it isn't a reliable overclock. Using Prime and setting everything to full capacity doesn't cause crashes or issues.

Prime likely needs to be tested for 12 to 24 hours to see if it works well as an overclock.
Another idea would be to turn off the turbo (maybe?) since its speed is around 4.2, and I think that's the real issue.
I also read more about it, and it appears the difference only matters when you exceed 4.2GHz. It took me up to 4.4 for a noticeable improvement. Still, at least 12 hours is a good benchmark. My PC would overheat quickly, which is why I didn’t push it too high. Plus, my cooling setup isn’t great—my radiator is placed where the intake fans are, and it’s stuck in the frame. It’s making noise now, and the smart fan curve was messing things up, boosting it to 40% even at 30°C. My idle temperature is around 25°C.
