Don't use AMD Overdrive. Overclock using the BIOS. If that doesn't work, you most likely lost the silicon lottery.

ok see on my bios i dont have OC or ECO tab all i have is msi settings, it also has standard and eco mode button not eco mode square, any help?

Turn off the power saving and quiet features in BIOS. With Overdrive, turn up the voltage first then the multiplier. 

 

Overdrive works great for me, where was BIOS is a pain in the rear.

there is no cool n quiet mode or power saving mode all there is is eco, standard or msi settings, i checked in the settings and also no cool n quiet mode or any power saving mode, also no override mode either
