160x21 = 3.4ghz.
BUT
that's with all 4 cores under full load.
With turboboost enabled that becomes 160 x 24 = 3.9ghz
You can only test turboboost stability when you run prime95 or LinX or IBT with only one thread running. You should test every core seperate like this. If then all 4 cores are stable, you have a stable oc with turboboost enabled.
My i5 runs @ 3.6ghz, but when turboboost kicks in it becomes 4.2ghz. All stable.
EDIT : also, take QPI frequency off the auto setting. Set it at the lowest value.
I also noticed your vcore @1.21v
You tested this in prime95 with 4 threads.
So you didn't test this vcore with TB engaged.
That means your rig is stable at multiplier x21,
but probably not with TB engaged (x24).
This is how I did it :
First determine a stable oc, in your case that's 160x21=3.4ghz
You allready know this is stable @1.21 vcore.
But with TB engaged it will become 160x24=3.9ghz
So you will probably need more vcore to make that stable.
Maybe also a bit more vtt (cause c-state and c1e usually require more vtt).
But it is difficult to determine the exact vcore with TB enabled cause you probably have vcore set to offset.
So first make sure you have the exact stable vcore for 3.9ghz
You do that by disabling speedstep, c1e, TB and c-state and do a static oc to 3.9ghz and determine your lowest stable vcore (Let's say that will be for instance 1.30v).
When you have that stable, write down vcore and vtt values.
Now make sure speedstep, c1e, turboboost and c-state are all on in bios.
set multiplier to auto
BCLK to 160
dram to 1600 (or whatever you want your mem to run with)
vcore to offset. Offset value should be a value which, added to the stock vcore, gives you the exact vcore you have just determined (for instance 1.30v).
Set all other values to the ones you allready had.
Now run prime95 with only one thread.
In cpu-z you should see the multiplier jump up to x24
Let it run 8+ hours.
It should be stable, if not add a notch to vcore, and if neccessary vtt.
