I'm trying out a new beta bios for my z68x-ud3h-b3. I still can't go over 4.6ghz at any voltages for whatever reason. I am however, small ftt stable over 48hrs @ 4.6ghz with a much lower voltage then before. And I can finally use dynamic vid. But I can't seem to get blend stable.

Ram is running at it's default (which it was before as well), xmp profile1, 1600, 8/8/8/24. I keep notching dvid up but it hasn't gotten stable yet in blend test.
current voltages
dvid = +.95
qpi = 1.16 (16gb of ram, all slots full)
cpu pll = 1.75
mem = 1.510
Everything else is on auto.

Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried running your RAM at 1333 when running blend to test if it is your CPU that is unstable? I know I was having issues getting even 4.5 stable due to a significant temperature and voltage increase needed to even attempt it. I found that my RAM was what was giving me most of the trouble with instability so I currently have it staying at 1333 until I can be bothered to tweak it back up to 1600, I'm on a P67 board but the principals should still be the same anyway.
