Hi all. I've got my i7 860 clocked at 4Ghz on custom watercooling. I wanna try to get even higher (personal kicks 
). Now I've got my base clock at 181 Mhz and my multiplier at 22.
I wanna get even higher than that say 4.3Ghz, but I keep getting bsod, as I can overclock my base clock, not my multi.
Now I understand that overclocking my base clock i'm overclocking my motherboard/ram (@1456 Mhz)too.
Now if I wanted to achieve any higher would I have to purchase another i7 with an unlocked multiplier to get even higher? BTW If so I wouldn't replace my current i7 for the sake of 300-400 Mhz.
Is there a way to make my system more stable as I increase the base clock?
I've tried increasing my IMC voltage, but still no luck.
Cheers all.
