i7 920 overclock

This isnt really a question topic other than does this sound safe for 24/7 folding?

4.2 ghz - 21x 200
1.312V V core
Temps 68C -72C

1.2V QPI/DRAM (Yes suprised me I could be this low)
NB temp - 66C (Its at 54C just idleing)

1.5V DRAM voltage
1203mhz (I think)
7-7-7-20

Im very proud of myself. Seem a good clock to you guys? Its 24 hour folding stable and done all the prime tests for 2 hours and they all fine, so thats stable if you ask me!

Looks very good, the low qpi could be down to your ram running at 1203mhz, as your underclocking it from default of 1333mhz. Cpu temps are very good as well for that vcore, i dont use fah myself but from what ive read/heard, it's pretty stressful.

Anyone think I could push memory upto the next level at 1600mhz if I back timings off to 9 and up qpi?

Is that NB temp ok? Seems high even with such a low QPI voltage

By all means, try slackening the timings a bit. My own ocz reaper 1600mhz kit is rated for 7-7-7-24 1T cmnd rate, but while testing my oc i slackened them to 9-9-9-27 2T. Im running qpi at 1.33125 iirc.

Yup those temps are fine for Folding, and ignore prime testing, if its 24 hour folding stable, then its stable.

Iv had 24hour prime settings fail or be flaky under folding lol.

About the memory, your sig states u have 1333mhz memory, not all will do 1600mhz, especially if its sold as 1333 stuff, worth testing i guess, but don't count on it.

About the mobo temp, all be it that it is high, both idle and load, they can go a lot higher, check your case airflow if you are concerned.
But from everything iv read on those mobo's they just run that hot.
