You might wanna try upping your QPI Link voltage a tad since its overclock just a hair. Looks as if HT Link and QPI are almost the samething just difference platforms.
 
More vcore? I run at 1.35v and can do 21x200 (4.2ghz) without a problem on an H70. What is your qpi voltage? I hear ~1.35v is a good value for this, and it's what I run.
