Anyway, 20-pass LinX run completed without issues using 1.47500V QPI/DRAM (VTT). I'd say this is not bad?! See screenshot below.
Looks like your running XP (32-bit?) and possibly only 3GB of RAM though. Or at least your only testing 772MB of RAM in LinX instead of All. Try 6GB and Vista/Windows 7 64-bit and that will likely have more of an effect on how high your able to get with the BCLK.

You need a good IMC to be able to run high BCLK's or high memory speeds with the i7's and 6GB is more stressful on the IMC than 3GB. A 64-bit OS will also put more stress on the CPU than 32-bit.
