I'm overclocking my i7 920 and anytime i take the processor above 3.3ghz no matter the ram settings no matter how much voltage and how low the speed is on the ram i cant even pass the windows memory test before i boot into windows but i can pass it and prime 95 @ 3.24ghz. Do i have bad ram or is it just bad for overclocking or what?

Found the problem i'm not at 3.64ghz @ 1.364Vcore under load but im not sure if i should go higher because bumping it up to boot at 3.7ghz i go to 1.376vcore which is above intels recommended on newegg?
