Hi. I purchased a used PC with an I7 930 processor. It was supposed to be overclocked to 3.8Ghz, but it isn't. Could anyone share a guide on how to achieve that? The other components are: EVGA GTX 680 2gb, 12Gb Kingston hyper X RAM, Arctic Xtreme CPU cooler, and Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard. I'm using Windows 10.

I regret to create this thread. After reviewing numerous online instructions, I realized why my overclock failed. Enabling power-saving options caused the clock speed to drop to 3.8Ghz.
