Of all the things I mentioned, I firmly believe VTT did me in with that chip in particular.

Prime81, did you do a Vdroop mod or something to have your Vcore constant when both idle and under load in windows? It's very odd to see such especially with all the Vdrop values being reported - average of about 0.03V from supply voltage. You may have a gem of a motherboard there.
