Do you see anything that I could possibly tweak to get some higher BCLK with it?(forget the Crossfire issue right now)..I noticed a lot of my settings for voltages are currently set to Auto...perhaps I can benefit from some of these beings raised? I have read a lot of threads, but this seems the best place for me seeing as these settings have to do with the R2E MB...any advice is appreciated:

If you have read a lot of threads, I'm sure most of them suggested you do not set things, especially voltages, to 'auto' when overclocking. You mention some of your settings are on auto, then ask if they should be raised - when overclocking and leaving voltages on auto the voltages in question are probably already raised, often way too far. Set them all manually, and only raise them when required. This probably won't get you any higher clocks but may reduce your NB temp for example.

By the look of your CPU vcore, you probably wont get it much higher without getting into the range most people would consider too high for 24/7 use. These boards should allow a good 920 to do 4.4 - 4.5GHz+, most OC's I've seen are CPU or heat limited.
