Overclocking BSOD

[imported_inspire]

Trying to find my max chip capable per Zebo's guide. I hit 2.8GHz fine with SP2004 and was going up to 2.85 when I got this BSOD on trying to boot into windows:

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x000000AC, 0x00000005, 0x00000000, 0xF74785ED)
*** atapi.sys - Address F74785ED base at F7473000, DateStamp 41107b4d

My memory is 'taken out of the equation' per Zebo's guide and my max board capable per Zebo's guide is 318 MHz. Chip is at 1.5v. PCIe is locked memory overvolted from 1.9 to 1.95, HT multiplier is at 3x.

Ideas?

That means that 2.8 Ghz is your chip's absolute max. So, it looks like you should run it at around 2.6-2.65 Ghz, with 1.50v, for a long-term overclock.

ugh... damn.

Don't feel bad, that's considerably higher than the average Skt. 939 X2 3800 overclock.

Do you think I could push it further by bringing the voltage up to 1.55v?

Things to note:
-I have 'Mad' cable management skills (I can upload some photos if necessary when I get home from work if you'd like to see...)
-I have an aluminum CM case
-I have a 120mm exhaust fan directly in line (and in direction) with the fan on my Scythe Mine`
-I have an 80mm front intake fan with a clear airflow (mad cab-mgt skills)
-My CPU has not broken 44c while running two instances of SP2004 using the torture test on each core. (At least, not according to Asus Probe v 2.0)
-I applied Arctic Silver 5 properly

Do you think I could push the envelope a little farther? Maybe get closer to or hit 3.0?

I've been under the impression that the only real danger of voltage is the increase in heat - but I think I can handle it... Ideas?

EDIT: I still need ideas, but I think I need to roll back to my last bootable frequency (2.8 GHz) and run the Large FFT (Max Heat) tests in SP 2004 and then be proud of my temps.... But - if they're still good, I should be able to push it farther, no?
