Pushin i7 930, 21x 165 stable at, anything higher and won't boot

[nms499]

Week old computer. First computer I've owned with unlocked BIOS so new to overclocking. Here is my rig and BIOS settings. When I make changes to BIOS past where I am it won't boot. I had it boot once with 21x 175 but wasn't stable. Have tried many, many different settings variations but can't get it to boot with settings past where I have it stable at any ideas?
