Will overlocking my CPU eliminate or improve the problems I'm having?

It feels like my computer is really lacking in performance in games. I noticed it a lot when I got black ops 4. I've noticed the FPS doesn't change much from graphics all high, to graphics all medium, although it does 'feel' better (but still not feeling as good as I feel it should). Even on all medium graphics, the fps fluctuates way too much and isn't feeling the way I feel it should feel and play.

I've also noticed this on another game (a moba). The fps can go as low as 100 at times, as well as it feeling like I'm running the game on vsync. Doesn't feel like my clicks and abilities are as fast and responsive as I feel they should be. As if it's lagging behind a little.

I've done fresh install of windows, completely erased all previous data. Running the latest nvidia driver, etc.

The cpu is a i5 6600k, which runs at 3.6GHz.
GPU is 980ti
16gb ram

Also have a 144hz monitor at 1440p.
 
Looks like it's made zero difference going from 3.6 to 4.5.

My fps in the moba I play (HotS) absolutely tanks to around 100 fps in team fights and it feels as if my mouse is on ice. Everything just feels delayed and really weird. Not sure how to fix this :/
 
Run MSI afterburner overlay so you can see CPU usage, VRAM, RAM etc to see if there's a bottleneck.

If overclocking CPU makes no difference and GPU isn't the bottleneck and you've done things like installing a fresh Windows, sounds like thermal issues, how warm do CPU and GPU run?
 
Instal windoes... gpu drivers and only blackops 4.. onto a spare hard drive

Install only that...

Your problems ....SHOULD be gone...
