Phenom II x4 940 BE Questions

Last response: in Overclocking

As of now I'm running my phenom 940 at 3.4 Ghz with 1.375v and it seems pretty stable, But when I bump it up to 3.5ghz it crashes on prime95 (small FFT's test) within 15 minutes, even bumped up at 1.3875v it will fail.
-I read that I should be able to get 3.5 stable with only 1.36-1.375v. I havn't tried bumping up the volts any higher, anyone else needing over 1.38v to get a stable 3.5 on this processor? BTW my temps right now are 45c load with prime95 and they were going only 51c (with the 3.5ghz@1.3875v) when it crashed.
