Thanks Run, i'm still trying to master all settings in bios but it takes forever to have 'm all tested and see how they influence the oc.

Yesterday i messed with Dram skew and Dram reference voltage trying to bring Vddr down a tad or two but ended up with the auto setting that performed best.

Anyhow here's my settings:
