Strange behavior indeed. I did all the measurements with a DMM this time around.
I think these high vdroops are becoming larger with each step because the electrical circuit gets less capacity to deliver the set voltage. Maybe you could try a v-mod?!?

One other thing that I noticed while testing Uncore is that the 1.65V triple-channel Corsair Dominator sticks that I have do not seem to do well with increased DRAM voltage and will infact cause channels to be lost. If I drop the DRAM voltage back down to 1.65681V then I get back all of the channels. However, in order to properly test max Uncore I need to increase both DRAM and QPI/DRAM voltages. Quite a conundrum if you ask me...
Maybe you should try to post with only one stick of memory if you didn't try yet.

I'm totally clueless at this point as well. I would expect that lower bclk would put less stress on every component connected to it and therefore providing more stability.

Did you already do a google search for extreme OC results on a R2E, performed with nearly the same cooling solution as you are using?
