how about getting rid of all those ugly (auto) settings :D
come on man, dont be lazy, go read a bit, there are plenty of good i7 ocing guides n articles and threads where people posted their settings...
if you really cont find any for some reason google for xbitlabs and guide and you should be able to at least read about the basics there :P

You should be able to reach that overclock at stock voltages.
Check and see if your ram timings and voltages are correct.
