    So, heres a kicker...
    The last couple days 24 hours these have been my WCG stable settings on all 8 "cores" : 21x175 (3.67ghz) @ 1.23v idle vcore, 1.335 QPI/VTT, Uncore @ 17x175 for clock of 2975mhz.

    If I upped my BCLK one more mhz, my syste on both WCG and Linx/Prime blend would BSOD to the "an uncorrectable hardware error has occurred"

    Since those stable settings, I decided to play with my uncore clock, I put it at a multi of 18x to give it a clock of 3150mhz. While at the same time I actually dropped QPI/VTT to 1.25v
    All other settings listed above remain the same.

    Its been 24hrs of WCG and no crash yet!!!

    So, what do you all think? Uncore / memcontroller isnt my processors weakness or is it somehow? Whats preventing me to do 176mhz BCLK and higher with HT enabled. With HT off I can reach 178 BCLK stable...

    Think its simply my 1.23v on vcore? I will be testing this sometime over the weekend, because I will be gettin my mugen 2 heatsink and that will allow me to comfortably raise my vcore higher.
    So thats a theory I have ... what do you all think is my limit here?
