I've only had a few hours on this board so don't have any settings I would feel comfortable passing on as rock stable as I simply haven't had long enough to test them.

Having said that all I had to do to get 500 x 8.5 running prime was as follows, up the CPU termination voltage to 1.3v, the vcore to 1.35625v, NB to 1.4 & all the rest is as the board set it. The NB needs more than 1.4 but less than 1.5 to run a couple hours of large custom fft's, I'll find the sweet spot later today. I also have the CPU & PCI drive strengths up at 1000mv as this helped with high fsb so I just left it there when I came down to only 500 lol.

I am also just 1:1 atm on the 333 strap. I have manually set my timings to a safe (I know they can do it) value although the board sets them very very loose as std anyway.

Hope this helps.
