Just run prime for 1 hour np with my ram set to 1600 and Internal PLL Overvoltage: Enabled with cpu clocked to 4 gig will try higher clock later.

It's BSOD'ing in P95 at 4.5GHz:
Internal PLL Overvoltage: Enabled
Load Line Calibration: Extreme
VRM Frequency: Auto
VRM Spread Spectrum: Disabled
Phase Control: Standard
Duty Control: T. Probe
CPU Voltage - 1.32v
DRAM Voltage - 1.5
VCCSA Voltage -AUTO
VCCIO Voltage - AUTO
CPU PLL Voltage - AUTO
PCH Voltage - AUTO
CPU Spread Spectrum - AUTO
What options do I have other than just upping Vcore? With LLC on it's pushing 1.34V in CPU-Z
Maybe there is something to this Sandybridge branded memory after all.
What i dont get is you pay for a 3.4Ghz chip, you should be happy with every little bit extra, nothing wrong with 4.4Ghz.

Of course, I completely understand that, it's just a shame that mine can't even get 4.5GHz at 1.35V, while some seem to be managing 4.6 at 1.3V.
I appreciate it's all luck of the draw and that, I was just hoping for more than 4.4. It makes a genuine, noticeable difference for my application to have the higher speed.

So in line with my findings yesterday, I can confirm that it is the Ram settings that the Asus board chooses that makes things less stable.
I was happy to get mine prime stable yesterday with ram at 1600 but just turned the pc on from cold boot and it wont cold boot with the ram at 1600.
Mine will only cold boot with the ram set to 1333 and even then first attempt it stops and needs another go which is frustrating seeing as my ram is rated at 1866 so something amiss with these boards concerning ram.
That's actually a nice mantra.If you cannot get it, do not care about it. That has served me and my wallet well over the years.
It does seem strange i can benchmark ok and system runs fine with ram at 1866 but it wont cold boot with any setting over 1333
