Maybe this will help you out but this is what I was using at 5.153ghz in SuperPi32m under DICE. Just comparison sakes.



I actually started using less vcore in the end. I wanna say around 1.45-1.48v.
Thanks Dr! For me however, anything over 4.2ish if i don't bump the IOH it won't be stable. I probably bumped the IOH more than I should've there though.

It seems there is something hinky with your ram settings, as 1 SS is reporting 6 GB dual channel and the other 2 are reporting 4 GB single channel. It should be showing 6 GB triple channel.
I am using Nanya 3X2GB DDR3 1066. The reason that you see 4GB on one screen shot and 6GB on the other is because I was trying different RAM configs. I started off using all three sticks. Then I removed them and swapped them out for a 2X1GB of Corsair's, DDR3 1333. But I only had 1GB usable so benches were actually slower. So I put back my 3X2GB kit, but only with two sticks. Only 2GB were usable in windows. I have set my Memory Low Gap before and no matter what I set it at when I have all three sticks installed it uses 2GB for the card and stuff. only 3.99 useable in windows.
