Why not stay at 4.0 if that runs stable for you... you will not notice any substantial difference in FSX with 4.2 vs 4.0

Your CPU Vcore looks low. I run an eVGA X58 3X SLI (not the LE version) and an i7-975--at 4.26GHz (32x133) it's stable with 1.40v Vcore with Vdroop enabled. I'd start with CPU Vcore at ~1.42v, see if that runs it stable, if so, try backing it down a step at a time until it throws errors, then bump it back up a notch or two.Use E-Leet to make sure the reported Vcore does not exceed 1.49v under load.Also, your IOH Vcore seems a bit high...since you're not overclocking the base clock, the IOH shouldn't need so much...I run mine at 1.30v

i7 975 core voltage at 1.39 for 4.2GHz is "kinda" pushing it, you'll need more core voltage, also QPI/VTT may need to be raised a little.Start with raising the core voltage a little, if not stable raise it a little again. If you can post a pic of all your bios settings that will help.Always keep an eye on the temps when stress testing.Good luck.
