My i7930 is throttling down even though i have oc'd to 3.8 Ghz and have C1e and EIST DISABLED!

Why is this happening? Core temp never shows my cpu go above 2.9ghz at load for playing game sor rendering video. The only time my cpu actual goes to 3.8ghz clock is when i run prime95, otherwise it never goes to my set overclock.... why is this so?
