    Well, Ive managed to get 3.8ghz @ 1.22v stable out of this thing. I disabled HT for this and have my RAM running at only 1080mhz 6-6-6-17 or so for now.
    I noticed there was a setting in BIOS another PLL I did not touch when trying to OC this thing before... QPI PLL stock its 1.1v Ive raised it to 1.16v is this a setting you guys are changing at all?
    I have my QPI set to 1.33v running this @ 181/x21 for 3801mhz.... Stable 45min prime95 (way further than it has gone before)

    Surprisingly, I messed with different uncore multipliers and having it any lower than QPI does not seem to help stability, so I am running uncore @ same speed QPI bus is at and its just as stable so far...
    Max temps have hit 80C so, Im not sure if I wll enable HT from this point or not, knowing it generally makes processor hotter and is known to slow down gaming (primary function of this computer)
