Anyone know a BIOS version that this works? Changing the reference frequency to be higher than the default? This might also be causing some of Ghost's headaches.
Even if the resulting frequency is acceptable, not all combinations of reference and memory frequency will work. Same with XBX, XBX2, and X48 boards.

In this case it may be that the 400 strap sets too loose internal timings in the X38.
