Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

So what exactly holds back an i7 from running higher BLCK's? Is it the QPI speed from the CPU that limits how high of BLCK you get? I haven't had any luck getting 211Mhz stable with my current chip. I've tried it with a lower CPU multiplier of 18x and 19x and I've lowered the memory ratio to 6x to try and take the memory out of it but it still fails LinX within a few seconds. I bumped the QPI/Vtt voltage all the way up to around 1.5v and that still didn't get it stable. It doesn't BSOD when it fails neither, it just hard locks and I have to manually restart the computer. Usually when testing with the 21x multi and a lower BLCK it will BSOD when its unstable due to the CPU needing more vCore.
