Well I finally found some settings I'm happy with! Over 7 hours prime stable:

Write Recovery Time : 60
DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
Ai Clock Twister : Strong
Transaction Booster : Disable
- Relax Level: 0
CPU Voltage : 1.39375

jwfitt,
I'm pretty much where you are at this point. I'm 5 hours (and running) prime95 blend stable at 3800 MHz, 9.5X, 400 FSB, 400 strap, 1066, and 1.400000V CPU.

You might be able to bring your Write Recovery Time down to 55 or lower. I seem to be stable at 55 - although I'm running Clock Twister = Light. Not sure what sort of difference, if any, that might make.

Right now, it looks like my problems were a result of insufficent CPU volts. In testing, I backed down to 3.6 GHz and was stable for many hours. I upped to 3.8 and started having problems immediately. So I finally said F-it and set the CPU volts for 1.400000 at 3.8GHz. Seems to be working.
Wouldn't be surprised if the memory settings all on AUTO were fine all along.
