too much overclocking will cause a BSOD. from experience :P

Noticed from the doubleyou records
[AK47]M4lysz:
what about voltage?
[MAF]Snoopy:
increase it but the heat will rise risking more damage
[LSR]Jalicno:
Too high if you ask me but probably you couldn't reach 4.2GHz without that.
Here is good explanation http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i7-920-overclocking_11.html
--- Quote ---In fact, frequencies around 3.8GHz are the most widely spread maximum for Core i7-920 CPUs overclocked with air coolers. This is the conclusion we can make judging by our test results and basing on the feedback from the first users who purchased these processors. By the way, the engineering sample of the Core i7-920 CPU that we also have in our lab demonstrated the same overclockability. Even with the Vcore increased to 1.4V it overclocked only to 3.8GHz.

My advice is to try with lower voltage and for sure with less overclock which will result less temperature....And probably avoid BSOD
