[N.I.C]

Have you tired a higher UCLK frequency? Have you tried lowering the CPU PLL voltage (sometimes lowering it to 1.7-1.6 can actually improve stability)?

Alternatively, you should try leaving all voltages and advanced settings to "auto" and then using your preferred BCLK settings. Leave everything auto apart from the BCLK which you will manually set, if you still can't get above 206 then you are most likely stuck at that. The only tool I know that can sometimes nudge you over that wall is the IOH/CPU clock skew. Although this is a very delicate and very time consuming solution and I wouldn't undertake it unless you know what you are doing.

Nope, i haven't tried with higher Uncore yet (Dram Freq*2) , i cannot see how this suppose to help, but i'll give it a shot.
I have already tried with lower PLL (from 1.5 to 1.7) and i get the same results. With 1.85, was the best i could do on LinX/OCCT Linpack as i mentioned on my last post.
As i remember from my old s775 platform, the skews did help in many cases, but here from what i read, you can face exactly the opposite (much instabillity) using high ioh/cpu skews. I think that it's too early (low bclk, just 206, i see that achieving this bclk is piece of cake on W3520/decent 920) to start messing with skews, but i guess i'll have to start with it.
Another think i need to ask is about the LLC. on 0% calibration, i get much vdroop. To be exact, from 1.3750@BIOS (1.360@real/idle, measured with polymeter) it goes around 1.308@full load. Is that normal? On the other hand, with full calibration, it overvolts quite a bit (1.3750@BIOS-1.381@real/idle-1.383@full load), which, from what i've read, its normal.
50% Calbration is trying to keep the balance between the other two, but i get a lot of spikes on vcore some times.
What you guys use on LLC? full or 50%?
