(i.e what was the main setting that allowed the bulk of the speed boost? vCore or?)

Look like you have pumped PLL and vCore heavily and I also notice you have started dabbling in more advanced memory settings. Have you tried taking the strain off the memory while you work on your max CPU clock, or is that memory set-up nice and loose?

Also is that a new chip or has it been abused by someone before you!
the chip is brand new, I'm the first owner...and I put it in and set vcore to 1.44v and tried clocking to 4.3ghz but it was not stable. I tried stepping the clock down a bit and playing with GTL ratios but to no avail..

so I deleted all my settings and started with 1.408v load to shoot for my max 24/7 clock...I'm not going to run it past this voltage for my 24/7 clocks.

Currently I'm at 4133mhz (435fsb) stable as shown below...and I'm now priming 4.15ghz and if it's stable I think I'll leave it here.

As for my journey upwards from stock, I don't really journey that way lol. I usually just set my highest comfortable voltages and shoot for a high clock and work backwards from there.


And as for my memory, those settings are pretty loose. These OCZ sticks can do around 1200mhz with only 2.18v through them, currently they are running 2.16v (p5q overvolts by .08v) so they still have some headroom.
