then i tried (36x125) 4.5ghz @ 1.43v / 2005mhz w/ 1.76v for DRAM and QPI as high as 1.51v with IOH upto 1.23v... same thing, i can boot into windows but BSOD while trying to test for stability.

i have the following:

Extreme OC - Mode 1
QPI LLC - enabled
LLC - 100%
QPI link - auto
Unclock - auto

cpu settings are the usual and mem timings are set to stock. and i can't seem to touch unclock, system wont post if i do any setting other than auto for some reason...
You probably don't want to hear this, but have tried 4.5ghz with 6gb?
