955 CPU's like mine have 'C2' stepping so they require a lot of voltage to get something decent. Yours is likely 'C3' because it's newer, and those overclock really well with little voltage. I recall a new six core Phenom needing only about 1.4 volts to hit the same speed.
And, the 890FX chipset seems to be better at overclocking than the 790 too. Lucky you! 
Thanks for the link to the thread! Lots of helpful stuff in there.

If you don't want to add more voltage then you need to either turn down the multiplier a bit, or take a chance with a system that isn't 100% stable. If you keep your current settings and play a game, you may crash.

I set cpu volts to 1.350 and ram to 1.535 (which on both is 2 levels higher than default) and still crashed, the FSB:dram ratio i belive was same as when not over clocked, mem was 6xx mhz which was 1333 , not over clocking it, and nothing else besides the voltage and multiplier as changed and yet still crashed on occt and prime, so i may give up lol
