Did you try lowering the memory then bumping up the FSB until it's back at default? (Ex. 800MHz, drop it to 667MHz, then increase FSB until back up to 800MHzish then increasing CPUNB or CPU-VTT voltage and CPU core voltage to compensate) This is how I got my FSB up to 140 and CPU up to 5.2GHz

em, this is a Sandy Bridge processor from 2011, it doen't have a FSB, it's 5 GT/s DMI. It's also on the LGA 1155 socket.... It also doesn't take kindly to meddling voltages, setting it straight back to 1.16ish

That looks like a ASUS ROG motherboard. If it doesn't have a FSB & multiplier then I have no idea how you overclock. Not sure what GT/s DMI is.

It has a base clock and the multiplier, which is completely locked. DMI is the Direct Media Interface, a succession of FSB AND QPI. the 5GT/s just means the speed. There might be a setting with a similar named buried in there, but I know this CPU was locked VERY tightly down by Intel. Sure give me weeks and if I was really bothered I'd go to dramatic measures of getting a microcode reader and editing the CPU's BIOS and info.
