I think it's best to start from scratch here and try to determine if we can get it stable even at just stock settings... if you want to do it ofcourse. But trying templates, changing voltages on the fly will probably not give you the result you want...

Best bios to use is 0803 or 1406 (haven't tried 1611 here)

First pull one set of dimms... and use 4GB only... reset bios to defaults, reboot and set just the Vdimm to a correct value (I would set 0.08 lower than required eg 2.02 for 2.1Vdimm ops), ram timings manually 5-5-5-15 and TRFC 55 and NB to 1.2

Then boot into windows and launch Prime and run Small FFT test : (make sure you got CPU-Z open to verify Vcore) and Real temp eg to monitor coretemps... if the CPU passes eg 1 hour without an issue (no cores capping out), reboot the rig and set Vcore yourself to a value lower than monitored before in CPU-Z...test again till one of the cores fails, then give her some more juice... then test the rams with Hyperpi, HCI Memtest,...

if all is stable swap the current 4GB kit with the other 2 dimms... retest ram stability again with that kit (Hyperpi 4 instances 32MB, HCI memtest etc...)

If that is stable report back with ya working Vcore setting etc... then we can see if we can get the 4 sticks stable...

I think it's better to do it like this because what works for us, might not work for you... there are enough kind peeps here that will guide you through it mate
