I can get my system stable at 23x190, but nothing higher. I can get into win 7 at 23x192 and I get to the boot screen at 23x200. I know my system can do 200 (fsb) becasue I had it running at 20x200. Anyways, I am trying to get stable at 4.4Ghz or even higher...but I can not do it with my lack of i7 knowledge. I have an EVGA x58 SLI board and Corsire XMS 1600Mhx ram. I water cool and my max load temps are 65C. Here are a couple pics of my BIOS setup.

Let me know if you see anything wrong with my setup. Thanks

I should mention that I know my voltage looks high, but the actual temp is 1.411V, and it drops to 1.388V when I run Prime.
 
Switch Evga Vdroop Control to "without Vdroop"
Set Vcore to 1.35V
Set Vtt to +175mv
Change your memory ratio to 2:8
Set your timings manually

Then give 23X192 a try again ;)

So I changed the settings you suggested. It helps a bit, but still not stable. I even bumped up the Vcore to 1.4 and my system locks when I try to start small FPU in Prime.

Could it be I hit the wall with this cpu...or?
 
If your temps are still ok, then give it more VTT (+250mv). Most 930's/950's don't like much more than 4.2.
 
I would try to raise the pci express freq up to about 105 and see if it helps
