Forum Overclocking : CPUs AMD Athlon II X4 OC help

Word :    Username :           
 

I've been having some FPS issues in BF3 and my CPU seems to be botlenecking my MSI 560 ti 2GB OC edition. I've tried overclocking my CPU in the BIOS but I can't get it past the 2.9ghz. Is the CPU locked or is there something else I need to do? I tried adjusting the voltage but I still couldn't turn the clock up. I'm using a Gigabyte MA77OT-UD3 motherboard.

Specs:
MSI 560 ti 2GB OC edition
AMD Athlon II X4@2.9ghz
12gb of ddr3 RAM OCed to 1600
1000w Pro Gold Series Cooler Master PSU (Bit of an overkill. But I want room to expand. Mainly got it for my graphics card upgrade I did.)
1TB 3gb/s hd
Rosewill Destroyer case
