As it's the CPU where the controller is, changing that may help more than swapping the board. First try removing and reseating the chip.
Otherwise be prepared to run the RAM at 1400MHz. 1600MHz+ *is* overclocked under Intel's guidelines. As Paulieg says, there are a lot of timings deep hidden away in your BIOS too.
Not much more I can suggest, especially as your chip, OP, is a nice new revision, 930.

I tried re-setting the CPU and running at slower RAM speeds did not help at all.
I was using a new 920 for what it's worth. If the second MB does not help I will try to RMA the CPU as well the 2nd time. I've relinquished myself to being patient with this system.
