Core i7 920 OC at stock voltage

What have people managed to get on their i7 920 systems at stock voltage so I can compare. I'm interested in keeping it at stock for power consumption reasons.

So far I've managed 3.36GHz with 21 multiplier but I would have thought it could get to 3.5-3.6 (fairly new at this)?

running on P6T Deluxe V2 and Cosair Dominator 6Gb.

I thought stock voltage for i7 was 1.2v? Thats what I've got mine at at the moment. I'll try reducing it and see what happens.

At the moment my idle temps are around 40c and max 67c after a couple of hours of prime.

Looking around online, the default voltage for the 920 is 1.2v, I'm impressed you got yours to 3.8GHz at 1.18.

Mine gives me BSOD as soon as I start prime when im at 1.3v so I needed to up it to 1.35v to get it stable (although I've not done more then a couple of hours prime at this setting yet).

I moved down to 1.18v and still ok at 3.36GHz. Will go a bit further but i'd also be interested in other settings like QPI? My XMP profile sets it to 1.35v as default.
