I thought disabling Speed Step was best practice for overclocking? You want a consistent voltage and don't want the extra load of the CPU having to clock back/up on-demand.
I've had this i3 at 4.0Ghz since July 2010, it's only the past month or so that I've ever had a blue screen. The 4.4Ghz is the QPI speed, not the actual clock speed - should I scale this back? I can only do 16x or 18x, so its either 3.8Ghz or 4.4Ghz. I could also try decreasing the overclock (perhaps even go back to stock 2.93Ghz) and see what happens.
Yes, I had quite a few crashes playing Black Ops 2.
