Not sure what my correct Vcore is. Everest and CPUz seem to show different values.

Couldn't get it stable. Tried raising the Vcore, one step at a time, but OCCT kept failing or giving me BSOD. I took Vcore from 1.275V - 1.312V in bios (6 steps), and on the last OCCT said CPU was too hot and failed. The cores were hitting 70 degrees according to OCCT.

The only thing I can think of doing now is removing the CPU cooler, lapping the CPU and re-mounting. Have I got any other options?

Temp you see there in Everest corresponds to the VID of the cpu... not the voltage given in windows, you need to watch the sensor tab for that...

See my screenie VID on coretemp and Everest then Vcore in windows and CPU-Z :

I couldn't find a FSB that gave me ~3.4GHz and integer value of 1066 RAM freq, so I set the RAM to 1000MHz, and found an integer @ 3.5GHz which seems stable after 1Hr+ OCCT, but with loose RAM timings. I've tightened up the timings and will run OCCT overnight to test stability.
