@DJBACON8D

Thats too hot. Turn HT off and lower your voltage a tad.

Do you have push pull fans on the rad?

@victor555117

Should. Depends on your mobo.

My i7 870 with hyperthreading on takes 1.35v to get to 4ghz.

Takes less than that is hyperthreading is off.

What does the A20M function + virtualization do? And should I enable or disable them when overclocking?

[victor555117]

Does this work with the i7 870 also?
