Tony flash to F4f

use NB speed four times the RAM frequency speed

also your uncore is TOO LOW....bump it up to 1.5v just for initial testing
leave the rest of volts on auto except RAM (1.64v and vcore > whatever you required there)

boot direct to 190/200/210

i run past 1.5v uncore all the time for bencing........my RAM volts are 2.1v usually so dont be shy trying volts as long as uncore is not really low and your vdimm high

if you decide to run higher NB speeds this is usually where uncore and vdimm require a LOT more volts..........

i am only suggesting you start high to check if its the volts just in case

then you can drop them as you keep testing to find the sweet spots for your setup

Already tried f4f and if i set my qpi/vtt higher than say 1.20 it will not post correctly (keeps restarting and powers off then starts @defaults with bad overclocking message) also noticed it displays 6F when these restarts happen.

Used the following to test voltages

BCLK 169 (i used 169 as it is stable)

Following your voltage advice
vcore 1.41 (for testing)
vtt qpi 1.5 (won't post correctly) BUT BOOTS normally if i use vtt/qpi 1.18
If i leave mem,qpi,ram multiplyers on auto they are x8,x36,x20.

I think i might try f5a again and 1 stick of dram.I think the issue here is i have a poor cpuNot noticed in this thread of any really bad i7 920's but overclocking is normally luck of the draw.I wonder if its worth tring another x58 board
