hi, there just trying to get my i7 -920 to 3.66ghz and dont seem to be getting anywhere fast, failing prime 95 with a bsod after about 20 minutes.

System specs

i7-920 c0
p6x58d-e
Corsair xms3 1600mhz

what i have done so far,

Cpu ratio:20
bclk: 183
Pci e freq: 100
ddr freq 1531
uclk 3063
qpi link data rata auto
cpuvolts 1.25v
qpi dram 1.4v
dram bus volts 1.65

all the ram settings are what it sets it to in xmp mode.

Any suggestions as to where i might be going wrong? any help would be much appreciated :D
 
Whatever it takes as long as you can keep temps under control :). What cooler have you got? With an older C0 stepping i7, you may need higher volts to get your overclock than you might be used to seeing other people achieve, but probably not as much as my i5 :).
