If lowering Cpu multi from 20 to 19 stopped it from crashing in game then then would mean you need more Vcore.

Yes, that was what I took from the situation, as well. At least I've found that raising the uncore multi from 16 to 17 and raising the IOH Core to 1.18v allowed me to reduce the QPI/VTT and CPU PLL voltages. They're working great at 1.32v and 1.8v, respectively.

I'm marginally happy with the overclock at the moment - I may try for the 20 multiplier again and just see how far I have to push the vcore.

Are you sure you need them set like that? I over looked it before as you said you have a C0 chip not a D0 chip.

Well, those settings have worked for me in the past - helped stabilize an overclock. So I gave them a shot, and they don't seem to impact performance much. The C0's do take extra fiddling - the early ones, especially (this is a week 38 CPU - one of the early batches). I will probably set them back to normal at some point to see if this OC is stable without.
