Default i7 920 overclocking thread

Well, i got my I7 920 today and i figured we should probably have a 920 overclocking thread. I will try to link helpful articles, and "cheat sheets" i can find. if you find any good ones PM me and i'll post em here.
here's mine so far.




for some reason if i go any higher no post, i'm guessing i have alot to learn. because it is rock solid stable and good temps, but no amount of voltage will let me go any higher. we will see what we find.
here's a good overclocking article
