Here is another sweet overclock, if your motherboard will be capable:
Bclock = 200
920 = x18-20 = 3600-4000 mhz (within safe vcore limits, air coolable)
940 = x18-22 = 3600-4400 mhz (vcore at limits for >4000, only water coolable)
200 Bclock x18 QPI = 3600 mhz > 7.2 G/s (motherboard better have balls for this)
200 Bclock x16 Uncore = 3200 mhz (good for DDR3-1600, raise VTT at own risk for more)

Guess it was the QPI/VTT voltage I saw about passing 220 Bclcok.
Interesting to note the comment made on the QPI speed.
Check the number of phases your mobo supplies for VTT, it uses 30W at STOCK. Some mobos are pushing 4 phases for this at least 2 would be necessary i think.
Dunno if I have a messed up bios or not, I set 21x multi on mine and hit 4.2 pretty easily, never saw it drop to 4GHz for wprime either...(tried 4 8 and 16 threads in wp also, 8 works best
2 seconds faster than 4 threads, 16 threads was .5 seconds slower than 8 threads)
4.2 WAS NOT STABLE THOUGH, found out I was running my mem at almost 2000 MHz LOL at 1.65 volts :p not bad for $50 tri channel ram
