When I increased the clock speed of my FX 6300, it would briefly drop after a second before stabilizing around 4.4ghz within about three seconds. The temperatures stayed below 46°C during the overclock. My system specs include: FX 6300, R9 390, Gigabyte GA970A U3P, two 4GB HyperX Fury RAM sticks, an 160GB SSD, a 500GB HDD, another 500GB HDD, and Windows 10.

There seems to be a workaround if I recall right, adjusting the turbo frequency to match the original speed. It might have caused the double boot after disassembling the turbo. Please wait for confirmation since I don’t remember it clearly, and it’s been a while since I used that board.

Gigabyte ga970a ud3p version 1 or 2? A bios update for rev 1 resolves the double boot issue, but it's unclear for rev 2.

This scenario doesn't involve AMD Overdrive. For your situation, 46C appears quite low when overclocked underload. It's advisable to install AMD Overdrive if you haven't already and ensure the thermal margin on your cores is around 15°C.
Thermal margin refers to AMD's temperature measurement; a higher value gives more safety before reaching dangerous levels.
