CPU Vcore I am just about to test with 1.2875v it passed LinX with it set to 1.3500v in the screen above.
QPI/VTT Voltage 1.255v
CPU PLL 1.300v (I read that lowering this can help gain stability, I have tested it with 1.800 and 1.860v and it doesn't make any difference to my o/c)

MCH/ICH Auto
PCIE Auto
QPI PLL 1.100v (tested this using every increment from 1.100v to 1.240v made no difference)
IOH Core 1.140v (again played with this right up to 1.240v)
ICH I/O Auto
ICH Core Auto

DRAM
DRAM Voltage 1.66v
DRAM Termination Auto

I should think I could get 4.2GHz Prime stable, I don't understand why my chip will be rock solid @ 200x20 with only 1.248v Vcore under load, yet I struggle to find stable settings for 4.2GHz and need to crank Vcore in order for it to pass LinX???

Like I said, I am about to test again with Vcore at 1.2875v instead of 1.3500v..

If you guys have any suggestions I would be happy to try them out!

::edit::

I've got some Arctic Cooling fans 12025PWM fans coming on Thursday hopefully, these will be getting used on my triple rad once I setup my WC loop, but I will try them out on my TRUE until I get my HK 3, I imagine they will be better than these Xigmatek fans I have atm, as they have got high static pressure, which should make a difference I've been told..
