    how do i get to 4.2+Ghz

    I have a problem getting to 4.2+Ghz with my E8400. (maximus Formula latest bios, good air cooled)

    I have DDR2 800Mz wich i can run on 1Ghz stable on 2.1V. The funny thing is, i can only run it at 1Ghz when i do not oc my E8400.
    When i leave the RAM Voltage on auto i can oc my CPU to 4Ghz resulting in my RAM running 890Mhz and that is stable and cool 14hrs stressed.
    My E8400 needs 1.24/1.28V for this oc but i dont know how to manage the voltages for the cpu,ram,nb etcet.
    At 4.2Ghz/910Mhz is a wall i cant pass, the system becomes unstable.

    Can anybody point me in the right direction?
    I would love to c reference settings for 500*9 for a e8400.

    And why do i have "A" stepping in cpuZ? (Vista32bit)
