Well currently I raised 3 settings in the bios. Here is what I raised:
1.375 VTT FSB Voltage
1.15 SB Core Power
1.7 I/O Power.
and now it is 30 min stable for now. I still have 30 min to go to get 1 hour stable OCCT so we'll see. If this is stable I will lower the sb power and I/O power and stress again. But like I said my previous settings was stable 1 hour OCCT, then it failed in 30 min when I stressed again. I'll even stress with the settings that OCCT failed in 30 minutes again just to make sure.

EDIT: Just failed OCCT with 29 minutes to go at:
1.375 VTT FSB Voltage
1.15 SB Core Power
1.7 I/O Power.

I guess what I meant was you are still in VID range of cpu vcore, but 25% above suggested VTT FSB. And ? if high VTT FSB is just as bad as high vcore, and ? of stress testing with high VTT FSB is especially bad.

Could you raise vcore a little, and drop VTT FSB to 1.25 or 1.2 and get stable. And then see if you get any further degradation.
