FSB: 400
Mult: 9
vCORE: 1.2875
vFSB: 1.20
vMCH: 1.25
Ref Freq: 333
Mem Freq: 1333
Timings: 8-8-8-20
vDIMM: 1.82

I cannot boot to windows with 7-7-7-20 timings and 1.82v, but i "can" boot with 1.94v, but it fails OCCT in less than a minute. Whats odd is that I'm able to get to these overclocks without raising the FSB voltage and MCH voltage this time around.

I dont believe raising the FSB and/or MCH voltages helps my situation but I'll keep trying.
At 400FSB the default voltages should be OK but you could try raising the vMCH 1 notch. Also, tweak the vDIMM 1 notch in either direction and see what that does.
