So far everything is A OK F8D Rolling fine here, And i didnt really beleive, BUT the new AHCI gave me Slightly better results...like a 0.5ms in acces, and 3MB more in buffered hehe STILL its something right something happend heh.

Now this Interleave thing? what is that? new thing to play with?

I realized one thing right now, before 210 bckl was more or less impossible to get anywhere except from post...so Like with any new bios i still hoping it is the bios but so far it hasnt been, so i have more or less given up, and called it...my cpu has its wall, BUT

tried something new today, and first put all memsettings on auto at first, just to see .. and then vtt at 1.44 (it needs 1.40 stable for CL7 and 1600mhz 3600QPI,4.2Ghz)
and vDDR at 1.68 just in case, reboot, post fine, win logo, BAM, BSOD? ok, WTF? reboot again,(and Geez its fast post i dont had the time to pres DEL) so boot again, BAM BSOD, now this time pressing DEL like an idiot hehe...

SO Bios, just a hunch, Lower VTT 1.40, lower vDDR 1.64, and now im here typing, no sign of instability ... haha, somehow im allways stuck at more speed more voltage, but NO NO now its bedtime and im happy, more fiddeling tomorrow :P Be back! (just had to write if off me)

cheers.

Found this by the way for those who wondered:

Channel Interleave: Higher values divide memory blocks and spread contiguous portions of data across interleaved channels, thereby increasing potential read bandwidth as requests for data can be made to all interleaved channels in an overlapped manner. For benchmarking purposes when using three memory modules, a 4-way interleave may surpass the scoring performance of setting 6-way interleave depending on the benchmark and operating system used (32-bit vs. 64-bit). We did find however that a 6-way interleave was capable of a higher overall BCLK for Super PI 32M than using a 4-way interleave setting (unless of course you run single- or dual-channel and appropriate channel interleaving thus decreasing load upon the memory controller).

Rank Interleave: Interleaves physical ranks of memory so that a rank can be accessed while another is being refreshed. Performance gains again depend on the benchmark in question. For 24/7 systems using triple-channel memory configurations there is no advantage to setting this value below 4 while Channel Interleave should be left at 6 for best overall system performance.


EDIT: it crashed During Everest memtest hahaha now back, lowered vtt one more notch.. cpu at 4.4 uncore 17x mem 1680.
EDIT2: Now it worked heh.
