I've read around for a while now about over-clocking and had an attempt an hour ago. I'm not sure if it was the voltages that gummed it up or not, this is my first time ever over-clocking anything. The 2 reboots that followed only got to the OS boot before the rig made a whine and then restarted. I've reverted back to the default settings to do some more reading.
I've been referring to this thread mostly for settings as it's a rundown with an i7 950 and a Flaming Blade:

How ever since it's the 950 and not the 920 I'm not sure what settings are going to be different for the BIOS. The settings should be too different? Can anyone be kind enough to list what settings should be changed to suit the 920 at a 4GHz over-clock?
Did a CPU-Z run with no over-clock settings at idle and one with Prime95 running:
Not sure if they help at all.
My rig set up:
Flaming Blade X58
i7 920
Corsair 3x2GB kit 1600MHz
GTX275
550W PSU
Thanks for your time.
