I'm assuming those are idle temps, stress it and then post back.
 
86C max isn't too bad considering the speed, voltage, and the fact that HT are on. What cooling are you using? Also, what programs were used to stress test it?

For the memory, you might want to try 1T command rate. If it doesn't take, you can try increasing the DRAM voltage slightly. The QPI voltage should be fine.

All your power-saving settings are off at the moment, which you may want to re-enable after you've stabilized your clocks. I'm sure you already know what you're doing there.
 
I was able to get my D0 920 to 4.0GHz with 1.2V, try bring the voltage down a hair, say maybe 1.35-1.38ish, it will surely lower the temps, if its not stable then just go back to the voltage ur at. If i had mine at 1.58 my core would melt my motherboard.

It depends on the CPU. My C0/C1 Core i7 920 requires 1.475v to run at 4.2GHz.
 
Not a pro at overclocking had cpu voltage up too high so i turn it down 2 days ago after some advice.No ac turn on in my room is warm reason for high temps

what "air"? theres a big difference between the stock intel cooler and a TRUE.
