Trying a few more tweaks tRRD 1 maybe 1.96 volts for example to see if I can get it 100% stable @ 1702. If not I may return it or go to a new CPU...grrr more $$$ on this rig. Oh the joy's of overclocking.
Dont stress out man. How high have you gone on the NB? Try 1.56v with +30 on the GTL ref. Set P1 and P2 to Auto and see if you get any improvements.

Also, you can get an E8400 pretty cheap (E0) and Im pretty sure that will let you overclock better.
