I was wondering how to downclock my cpu to 3.8 Ghz my current temps are to hot. I would like it if some one could tell me how to do this and what settings I should try. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to stuff like this. Step by step instructions would be much appreciated. Oh and my mobo is m5a99x evo r2.0.

Yeah, the 8350 runs much more hot than that A10. Max recommended temp for the 8350 is 62c on the cores, that is direct from AMD.
