If you aim at 4.2-4.3 all you have yo do is up the max multi and leave everything else on auto. For Sandy Bridge memory overclocking or changing timings has no effect on overclocking the CPU and the DRAM voltage should be kept as close as possible to the maximum allowed by Intel which is 1,5v

Cpuz read my vcore up to 1.4v during prime 95 when I use turbo 4.4. So I converted back my setting which is 4.3 GHz. Offset mode -0.005. Prime 95,3d mark 11, vantage,06, unigine 2.5 pass all, play bf3 2 hours without an error. I set ram at auto. I tried to set ram voltage to 1.5 but there is no 1.5. There are only 1.54 and 1.495

But what are your temps? I don't understand why CPUZ would read up to 1.4v. Cause if you set the voltage to fixed then it's fixed so it shouldn't go up or down.

yeah, i don't know too. with 4.3ghz,an hour with prime 95 push it to 72 degree C, gaming about 62. with 4.4 and 1.4v, it hits 80 just 5 minutes.

i'd stick with my setting now. 4.3 ghz is enough. cooler master hyper tx3 with 2 gelid fan push and pull. bf3 gives me around mid60 for a few hours gaming.
