Please remember I am a n00b that a week ago was still running his NF4 939.

I am afraid, as Praz said, that I am using "brute force" instead of "finesse".
Really don't remember the 4G settings but I'll try and test and report back.

With Vcore at 1.4v x0.023%. Been using 1.36v CPU VTT at 4th 200-4300 (not sure why, may have just seen that number somewhere on the net, figured I'd need to jack it up).
I know I left it at default at 3.5G Prime run and I don't have a clue where it was for 4 or 4.2.

But your point is well taken.
I need to do a systematic OC procedure and then make sure my testing procedures are correct.
Being an oldfaht I know I should have more patience, but I guess I got a little excited once I saw 4G running
