okay i can't stand this, rtw is full of people who know this shit, is nobody able to help!?
Okay, im editing this so i don't have to make like over 9000 posts in one go, but cpuz and sys info both say that the processor is only operating on 2.55GHZ, the stock clock speed, when the bios says its running at 2.82. I lowered the voltage to 1.244V. rebooted, and all programs still say the same. EXCEPT for coretemp, which says the CPU's multiplier is constantly switching from 9.5 to 6. when its at 9.5 its right, 2.82GHZ, when its at 6 its 1.77GHZ
ive got 3.4ghz on my 720 at stock voltages and 25c on stock cooler is that right? the bios says 40c but i dont want to believe that. overdrive says 25c. i think you should go as far as possible on stock voltages.

I told you to stress test you FSB first.
Once you get your peak clock, then we can start helping you ocing that cpu.
The reason why your multiplier is changing. You have your C1E enabled. You need to disable it.
Can you post your Bios settings here(settings and voltages)? It is better if you post your bios picture. I will try to help you
if it is switching from 9.5 to 6 constantly then you did not turn off C1E and Intel Speedstep, turn that stuff off as it also switches volts and can cause your OC to crash and BSOD

have you gone higher with your 720? i have been looking everywhere online for a reference clock for 3.7GHz. 720s are very OCable chips. :P
Anyway... i disabled C1E and intel speedstepping. My voltage is currently set a 1.24500V which is about 0.02 volts higher than stock. i've pushed the FSB to 320, running at 3.01GHZ. running prime 95. im getting similar temps (60/57)
