First of trolls gtfo i'm not stupid and i'm not gonna melt my pc.
So ok i'm getting a complete new build and i want to gift my old pc to my best frind and i want to overclock it so i can still play some light games with me..
Components:
CPU: intel i7 930
GPU: HD5870 vapor-x
RAM: corsair xms3
PSU: 950w corsair tier 3
Mobo: gygabyte ga-x58-usb3
Case: can't rember the right model but it is a very big thermaltake with pretty damn good airflow
Cooler: corsair h60
my goal is to have a balance clock that holds up even in summer that gives the max performance possible
This is a 3\4 year old built

First of all note that not all processors are created equal thus the specs someone may give you, wont necessarily give you their exact results (its mostly an estimate till you find one that settles with your processor).

1. What o/s do you have in the build?
2. How much RAM is in here? (didn't state that)
3. That Mobo is nice it still can get some life out of it.
4. You would need to update that Cooler if you want cooler temperatures (H60 is kind of weak for overclocking)
5. That GPU might be showing its age (if you're playing any of the latest games) Up it to a GTX 760 / R9 270x

Nobody can give you the "perfect" overclock for your chip because all chips are different. You'll have to read some guides and experiment to find a good, stable overclock. Just do a Google search on how to overclock your CPU and motherboard. These guides are probably a good place to start.

Chips are like a lottery , some great for overclocking , some just average.
