Ive overclocked my cpu to 4.8 everytime I restart it goes back to the factory settings of 3.8. Why is this?
 
If you are overclocking with a Windows program, you'll need to have that program start automatically with Windows to enable the overclock all the time. I thought programs did that automatically, but maybe they don't.

If you are overclocking in the BIOS, that means the overclock isn't bootable and the BIOS is resetting back to defaults.
