must be the board or a strong chip or both.

Those are superb temps! What MB are you running?

Thanks. Had a look at some bios shots from a review; just wanted to confirm IMC voltage = VTT on other boards. I'd say try increasing that a bit and see if it helps you with higher bclk. If the chip can do it with above-ambient cooling, that's probably what will help you get there. If you haven't already, it can't hurt to raise PCIe frequency a little bit as well, if IMC voltage doesn't help.

But what about this?

Depends on how much you want the clocks. I'm impressed he made it to 214 with the little voltage he's given it so far. Unfortunately it seems that we are going to need to go out of spec to get the overclocks we want. No way around it that I know of.
