OK I would have to suspect a bad TIM spread. What was your TIM application method, I didn't see anyone else ask?
 
Vids on TIM application:

YouTube: How Thermal Compound Spreads

(And I recommend looking at some of those others too.)

"Also go to www.innovationcooling.com and check out their application page it has great instructions for the correct application." - Falcon_CMH


Example of bad credit-card TIM spread:

No, a pea sized drop is more than sufficient. I have read repeatedly only the center of the CPU counts for heat dissipation. I only used a small rice-sized bit myself, and my temps are great.

hmm..
Then what in the h-e-double hockey sticks?
hmm.

The TIM pattern when you removed the cooler? That would not be good.

Yeha I don't know what is up.. once I try and get to 4.2 my temps get all crazy...

I'm afraid so.
I guess it's time to get a 970 for some six core love.

Turbo doesn't work right on 970s W/EVGA without a hardware mod.
EVGA mobos need mod to correctly work the i7-970 core multilpiers with Turbo on:
Problem with gulftown i7 970 and X58 3x SLI Classified (E760)

so you are saying in order for me to use a 970 six core CPU, I would have to get a different motherboard or send it to evga?
I've read about his a few months ago, I would have to have my board shipped to my cousin's after evga does there thing.
I was hoping they would solve this..

I have just checked this template as stable yesterday:

Good luck trying to go that low on VTT on yours, but it is just an example that you do not need high VTT to reach 4.2GHz on a 920. Do NOT just willie-nilly adjust your VTT up to that just bc someone else did. Every chip is different. High VTT will cause high Vreg temps and core temps, and will hurt your LinX Gflops. BTW +175 would be 1.375V VTT.

Temps 80-76 peak, Vreg is what is bothering me it tops out at 86.
It is your VTT causing those high temps IMO.
It doesn't matter what CPU chip you have if you don't do the OC right.

970s require a mobo hardware mod to properly use Turbo

Okay another question.
Should I stay at x19 multi?
I know it can lower things, but what should I do.
 

Avoid going to such high bclock if you can. It will only put more stress on the system...

 

When I mentioned DIMM V, I was saying so bc recently I measured my DIMM V with a DMM and found actual was pretty low. I had set 1.60V, and actual was 1.568. E-Leet said 1.62! But don't assume your board is off the same, it might even be off the other way. That's why I recommend you do this with DIMM V, and be careful to keep DIMM V within 0.5V of VTT (or IMC damage could result).

With glops does it generally go down with higher clocks?
I've notice this when I look at the 4.2 club, with my 197 bclk my gflops are around 55~58 close to 59.
With adjusting volts do I just guess or see what this does and hope for the better.
What will be the reasons to +/- volts in the ones you listed I should change.
Like when to up IOH/VTT/CPU PLL/QPI PLL, what I am saying.. what is the general consensus on what voltages to start off.
 

Thanks HWeed is it okay to call you that... your name is long
haha
Anyways.
What I generally went by was change vtt and vcore I stay with 1.3 for default vcore then work my way up with VTT and 1.2 or +0 until I passed.
Which is funny cause before this foray of trying to get to 4.2 I had all voltages at default except:
vdimm 1.65
vcore 1.3
IOH 1.1
I set RAM to mfg. specs which is 8-8-8-21 @ 1600mhz from G.Skill.
As you can see from my previous Template my voltages has changed and I will use that as a general guide when I try and go for higher clocks.
With that said I now just passed  with 10 runs with 3gbs memory at 198 bclk Gflops were 53 but I ended up with VTT +200 or should I take a different aproach.
Luckily I have my 197 bclk with HT saved in my bios if I do have issues on the way.
Also with temps highest temps on cores is 77c in real temp and Vreg is 60c
