    It's like I read your mind, went to Anand right after the first post and went back into the settings for some more tweakage. Both sticks are in the white slots, reduced the clocks to 1T and tightened up the timings as per an article I read where they achieved stability with more aggressive timings, followed by a few adjustments in the advanced settings and now we're getting somewhere:

    Wow!

    That's a really big jump. Amazing what a bit of tweaking can do. I have had four S2E boards and not one of them has run memory at 1800MHz in the blue slots with the same timings as I can get in the white slots.
