Always use memtest86+ v2.11 to see where you before booting windows, as where memtest freezes or errors will indicator what you need to do to overcome those errors. Playing with volts etc and re-testing in memtest86+ to see if you overcome those errors

try

starting with loose subtimings
Thanks for the ballpark figures, I already use memtest+ 2.11 ofc
Like I said, no errors anywhere (except when running the 10x mem divider at 200 BCLK below 2,05V Vdimm..)

I am feeling rather reluctant to go play around with memory settings though, as I got a black screen testing 190 BCLK and 8x ram mult (again), but this time it wouldn't come back up. No amount of CMOS clearing, disconnecting and reconnecting from/to the wall helped, had to remove battery for 2h before it would fire back up again.

And in that process I noticed my 940 has like the lowest cold bug ever.. below -40C it just won't come up, mobo starts with "88" and that's it.
Starting to believe this chip is also a crappy one, in its very own way (mIMC/coldbug/what else?)

Seems that with i7, you can't judge a CPU anymoe just by how high the Mhz will go, but rather how high it'll go at decent memspeed.
