I have same board and CPU as Napoleon as well. It took multiple CPU's for me to finally find stability at 4.2 Ghz. I chose to utilize 21 x 200 as it gives a perfect 4.2 and my ram runs at it's exact rating of ddr 1600. My settings are as follows:
21x200 = 4.2ghz
QPI x 36
Uncore x 15
Memory x 8 = 1600 mhz
C1E enabled
C3/C6/C7 disabled
EIST disabled
Mem timings 9-9-9-24-2
Voltages:
LLC- Auto (it works for me)
Normal + 0.2625 DVID
QPI/VTT 1.315
CPU PLL 1.80
PCIE 1.50 (stock)
Dram voltage 1.5
I have to say that I tried about 4 CPU's total. I could use all the same general settings, but vcore had to be bumped to high on the others in order to get stability. I finally found this X5670 that would run 100% stable at a reasonable voltage and temps. Maybe your cpu has just degraded a bit?
Yeh I thought it must be something along those lines... I mean I can run high voltages easy with the setup I have, windows usually boots, just isn't stable over 4.2ghz anymore, where only a few months ago with a much much worse cooler I was able to hit 4.4 constantly.
I have tried every multiplier/voltage/settings combo I could think of and just couldnt get 4.4 stable again
