ok so another user on overclock.net forums has the same motherboard and cpu as me, so he's been trying to help me oc my cpu to 4ghz. i cannot seem to get it stable, within 1:40-1:50 running linx with max memory it errors and stops.
ive been using higher vcore then him because i was going to work my way down to see what the lowest vcore i could use that was stable.
heres some pictures of his settings then ill post what i used, so maybe you can help me figure out what to try.

i used same exact settings but i used, 1.38v on dram due to me having 1.35v ram (when i enter 1.35v to switchs to 1.38), and thats not the culprit because when i reset bios to stock and ram to 1.38 it ran linx fine.
i also use 1.32v vcore, 1.30v cpu vtt, everything else is identical. after that i tried "high vdroop", 1.35v vcore, 1.32v vtt and after loading windows i opened linx and bsod'd. after that i reset bios and still kept bsoding after starting the computer with default settings. after clearing cmos it's working again, so thats where i am at the moment.
my specs are,
intel i7 860 cpu
msi p55 gd80 motherboard
g.skill eco series 1600mhz ram
