damnit how do I get past 4.2Ghz without increasing the vcore ?

Try bumping up your northbridge.

On my asus p5k vanilla it tkaes 1.4v for 4.2ghz on an old C0 e8400.
On my DS3L it takes more than 1.2v also - 1.3v I think but can't remember.

Anyways try 1.4v and then see if you can drop it from there to 1.3 or 1.25v.
