My 870 is running @ 4.08GHz and WEI is 7.7.
How much OC do I need in order to pump the WEI to 7.8 or 7.9 ??

Most people on this forum don't care about WEI. It's a synthetic benchmark and the scores it gives you are incredibly vague. My systems both say it has not been ran.
Anyways, a quick Google search resulted in this:
"For multi-core processors, both single threaded and multi-threaded scenarios are run. With levels 6 and 7, we aim to indicate that these systems will be rarely CPU bound for typical use and quite suitable for demanding processing tasks and multi-tasking. As examples, we anticipate many quad core processors will be able to score in the high 6 to low 7 ranges, and 8 core systems to be able to approach 7.9. The scoring has taken into account the very latest micro-processors available."

So, maybe an OC to 8.16 GHz will get you there.
