Looking at this guys results:

on a gigabyte extreme, he says he can't boot beyond 222bclk and had to set it higher in setfsb. So maybe that's what we need to start doing for beyond 221bclk. I'm guessing there is a 4ghz qpi limit as around 221-222bclk you are reaching the 4ghz qpi wall that everyone talks about. Maybe asus can address this in the next bios or tell us how to get around it. I haven't seen the dfi or evga having problems booting past that bclk, so maybe it's a bios fix.
thats one of the reason trying with the dfi..
trying with lower ram mhz and with the gt so no limitation by the ram this time.

the dfi doesnt seem to be so fussy with the ioh/ich ..
is it a design problem?? on the digital vrm vs analogue phase??

still want somebody to give a genius answer as to y asus thought running the qpi/dram card seprately was a smart thing to do
doesnt this create a lot of flux,
