Have you tested raising v-core and bclk in Turbo7..? Getting more than 3990 with 1.31 wont happen..
Have patients.., you will find it... :-) .., why i´m saying 195 bclk is because I also have troubles sometimes booting with 200.., 195 works fine and then i step it up to atleast 210 with set fsb.. My v-core is 1.5 in bios...
Everything is 100% stable at 193 bclk.. but when i go for 194.. no way in hell

Mounted properly, yes
power settings performance, yes.. tho it dosnt have anything to do with booting
cas 9 tested
Yes I have tried everything from 1.375v to 1.5v with 200 bclk, nothing works
When I set bclk to 194 or 200.. it freezes instantly.. I have not tried 210+ in SetFSB tho
