This board sounds like it destroys memory. What destroys memory is overvoltage. So definetely, this board overvolts the RAM or it won't die that fast with many people. The spikes in OCCT could be true.

GAR, I remember, also noted some strange voltage behaviour with this mb

And 2.2v on your Ballistix, shouldn't kill them so fast
I was thinking the same thing about your ballistix dieing, my previous set of ballistix pc8500 died after 3 months at 2.2v with 2x80mm aircooling over them. These d9 stix all die after 3-6 months at anything over 2.0v without aircooling and if you run them at 1100 or 1200 they will die after 2 months. Ive been through 4 sets in the last 6 months, they literally burn your finger to the touch. On a side note my last set killed my GA-p35-dq6 so i bought the Maximus Non SE and a set of ocz platinum xtc 2x 2gb 5-4-4-15 and so far so good.

This board detected my previous 4 disk raid 0 , and booted my q6600 at 3.6ghz the first shot with the 401 bios. The vdroop is horrible 1.54 bios = 1.44 load and my q6600 needs 1.46 under load to stay stable. I hope the Loadline and vdroop will be fixed with the 901 bios.
