you probably need to use more NB volts. i'm sure 2.3-2.35v is fine for the kit, but like i said i'm really wondering why it has to be this high.

for the DRAM settings itself, if you willing to try something new, there are a few different settings to try.
but since i don't have the hardware (especially the GSkill 9600 PI kit) i’ll have to let you discover them.

i would say try using XMP profile and leave the 2nd/3rd timings in the Advanced settings to Auto, don't set the Drive Strength Profile, diable the DDR Write Training on both Ch A & B
and then also try setting the Extreme Memory Profile to Auto, but set all timings manually in the bios.
i still use 700mv/700mv at the Advanced Clock Controls for my 500fsb, no Clock Skews settings everywhere, but my CPU is Q9300

2.3-2.35v in BIOS is not real panging as I said I got Digital Multimeter here that shows my Ram below 2.26v.

Dunno if you read my entire post but I'll say again MCH Voltage on 2:40 Strap is broken on all Gigabyte EP45 UD3 series boards and thus far there is no fix for it, I would need at least 1.5mch to lower vdimm to 2.1 or 2.2 but it's stuck on a max 1.440vmch because of the strap problem. If you put MCH voltage above 1.440 results in a no post condition...

Yes I just discovered that lowering the Dram Refs and Termination will allow you to lower Vdimm, I'll try few things you suggested too. Thanks.
