These are the settings that worked on Eclipse and Pro-E.

This is mostly for air overclocking which took 920 to almost 4900Mhz.

When using DICE I had to play with only CPU Vcore and IOH Volts(NB Volts) (Though used DICE on 950, hence the bclk was almost the same achieved using 920 on air and 950 on DICE, which is around 232 max)

As have been mentioned many a times, dont use even multipliers, its strange but true, somehow these i7's dont like high bclk and even multipliers.

VTT is not NB volts, IOH vcore is NB volts. Below I am mentioning the volts that should set you up, try keeping uncore at lower settings, MSI boards are not classifieds and do not run stably at higher uncores. Though @ lower clocks I have been able to run them at around 3800 but my board has gone to the dogs and was not able to test them with subzero cooling with every thing turned up.

For vcore you can go till 1.58V safely(check volts at bottom of the bios page). Dram as much as your sticks can take. IOH till 1.55V is what I have tried(had to use DICE palettes on NB sink though)

CPU Core : .320V
QPI /VTT : .330V
CPU PLL : 1.88V
DRam : 1.65V
IOH : 1.280V
ICH : 1.5V

Hope this helps.
