X38-DQ6 supports no ECC, and ECC memos, it's on Intel and Gigabytes's site.
X48 doesn't, it's on Intel's site.

TM+C1E will at least allow TM1+C1E mode so you do get the multi step down but not the cvore. Mine always drop just enough to matter if on all day and also takes up some of the stress on NB and MCH, so overall system can drop some in temp.
I tested with EIST and without it when I overclocked, and there are no benchmark differences, so what you said is not true. So I use EIST on.
