what's your full bios settings - list them here
I didn't take them as recommended. I just failed to use my full bios settings.

The following BIOS settings are stable but when I increase BCLK to 173 the system will not boot. I've tried a vcore up to 1.45v.

When I had this 920 in my P6T I got up to 4074 MHz with Turbo on (21x194) although not stable. I also had Prime95 stable for 30 min @ 20x195 (3900 MHz) but I stopped it because it was hot.

Bios settings used with 0114 and i7 920:
