At first I was thinking it was the motherboard or BIOS and I'm still contemplating this as I was able to do x52 with no problems on an ASUS board before switching to the UD7. If I had another mobo on hand I would give the chip a shot in that but I don't so RMA to Intel.

Time to go back to ol'reliable X58 until I get another chip.
Don't know for sure but I've heard asus board need lesss vcore than the UD7 for the same clocks . . So your chip might totaly be fine
