Anyway, here is a screenshot of things, multi keeps going down to 6 when idling, under priming multi was 11 (364x11=4004GHz). Now in Windows at same settings but at 4.1GHz, one of the cores failed right away Anything I could tweak to get it stable with no increase of vcore?
Have you considered there may be a fsb hole at 412fsb? I would try jumping the fsb up a bit like 420, 425, 430, 435, 440, 445 etc. I personally have not seen anything worthy of calling a fsb hole on the UT but my DK has a funky spot between 400 & 450fsb depending on the divider & a lot of other settings.

Maybe try upping the fsb from within windows using set fsb to see how far the CPU will go.

The multi drops because you have EIST & or C1E enabled in BIOS, its not a bad thing I know XS members that swear by using it but you got to have a nice stable rig in the 1st place.

As for tweaks your C0 stepping Will likely run different than my E0 but I would try bumping the clock amplitude, CPU Skews, GTL's, try setting GTL Buffer strength to weak etc.

P.S You got to love DFI tweaking
