That is really weird.
Well at least not on stock VTT (which is 1,21 with the DFI), no.
And no, I didn't just change my sig, changed it last week already to i7

I believe the ram has to be half of the uncore, if the uncore is 16x the ram will only run at 8x. I had the same issue. I at all default settings I would set it at 10x for the ram and it'll only run 8x due to the uncore default being 16x. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but I think that is why.
Not quite. Uncore speed has to be AT LEAST 2x as high as dram speed, or the system will be unstable. On the DFI board, you can't select uncore lower than 2x the dram frequency, for instance.

However you can run uncore faster than 2x the dram w/o problems, like I am doing right now. Default uncore mult for 6x dram is 12x, however you can also run 6x dram 16x uncore or 6x dram 20x uncore etc. The Gigabyte has even more uncore mults available, some of them working better than others.

For general OCing, set uncore to 2x the mem speed because that setting will always work. You can always try to increase uncore later.
