    I am impressed, gigabyte is pushing out bios files faster than Asus for a change. Hopefully they are fixing stuff, and not just releasing random bios files.

    With 140 BCLK, I can run 1700 CAS8 with 12GB of CSX DDR3-1600 ram and 1,45V QPI/VTT.
    With 170 BCLK I need to lower the ram mult to run at 1320 or increase QPI/VTT voltage.

    It is possible to run even more than 1700Mhz with 12GB, if you had a 965 you could push it by leaving BCLK at stock and OCing via multiplier.

    Latest progress: vcore 1.33v 23x 180 (4140mhz) 9hr blend stable. Bumped up to 185mhz, instant BSOD on load

    Amazing that a few mhz on the bclk can be the difference between a 100000% stable system and an instant BSOD

    Time to bump up the V.

    I noticed undervoltage on vcore compared to bios, 1.35v = 1.33v, 1.362v = 1.344v, etc, does this happen with QPI/VTT voltage aswell? In fact what program do you use to check which VTT is being reported in windows?

    Yes. I was attempting to run at 12gb at 8-8-8-24 1600mhz, 1333mhz. I got bios corruption, bios reset to F3. This was 6*2 Corsair Dominator 1600mhz kits.
