CPU batch# seams to be the most important component for reaching high BCLK. Probably because of the integrated memory controller (which is inside the CPU).
Different MB brands seams to play a role too, but DFI has proven to be capable of handling high BCLK on both i7 CO, and the new w3520 (D0) too.
RAM wouldn't be the limiting factor on how high BCLK the system can run stably, because you can always try to loosen up the dividers/timing, unless you are going for 5x (>2000MHZ RAM).
I suspect your CPU is a crappy one, and probably that's why the first owner has sold it. Can you borrow/try another CPU?
