FX 4300 Overclocking Problem

I have overclocked my FX 4300 to 4.1ghz, with a 4.2ghz turbo. However, when I run either prime95 or heavy load once my cpu is overclocked, the cpu reaches 95% load maximum. However, before I overclock and was at stock speeds, the  cpu was able to hit 100% load. Why is this, and is it normal?

Heavyload is saying 100% cpu load when it is run.

Also, Gigabyte EasyTune shows the processor going from 4.1 ghz to 4.2 ghz during heavyload, but both CPU-Z and Core Temp show the clock speed to be mainly 3.9ghz with a few peaks of 4.1 like it should be, however this is still different to what gigabyte easytune 6 says it is.

Here is a screenshot to show the load only showing 95 in task manager, but 100 in heavyload. It also shows the different core speeds from Core Temp and gigabyte easytune.
