Why am I only seeing a .02 increase on my processor?
 
Have you disabled things like Speedstep, C1E, and c-state? Also, I don't have a 920, but I do have a 860, and so it seems like your voltages are crazy high. I have mine overclocked to 4.0GHz and it is stable with a vcore of 1.3. Also, most ram generally has a voltage requirement of 1.65. Additionally, what RAM are you using? It seems like your timings should be set lower than that. What did you set your bclock at? If you set it higher than what cpuz is reporting, and you have the settings that I mentioned previously enabled, your system might be clocking itself down to save on energy. If you did set your Bclock at 132, you will need to increase that if you want higher speeds.

Thanks. I got everything straight out now. I lowered my voltages and increased my bclock. Up to 3.175 on a stock cooler. Don't want to push it.
 
Glad to hear that we were able to help. Definitely get yourself a better cooler and keep going.

That's a very decent overclock on the stock fan. Just make sure your load temperatures stay under 85C.
