i7-960 overclocking help

I have the i7-960 on a MSI Big Bang Xpower motherboard

base clock 190 x22 multi. 4.18ghz
v core 1.375
qpi v 1.27
ram v 1.65
mem timings 888-24 dominator tripple channel 3x2gb.
cooler H100i

system is stable so far but if I push bclock to 200 I have to up my vcore more. I do not know if 1.45 vore (is what I got around to and still couldnt get stable) would be safe 24/7.

My ram, unicore, and qpi v 1.27 is stable at bclock 200 with cpu multi at x15 1.2vcore.

My goal is 4.4ghz with 1600 ram and 3200 unicore. I have a PPL voltage on my motherboard that I left on auto due to lack of knowledge.

Start by bumping the BCLK to 200 but lower the multiplier from x22 to x20 = 4.0GHz, or 195 x 21 = 4.1Ghz w/ the DRAM multiplier at x8 = DDR3-1560. And lower the Vcore from 1.375V to somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.35V or slightly less for a 4.2Ghz clock.
