The problem is with the memory controller it seems, which is on the Intel CPU. I've also seen this on my Biostar x58, and on various x58 threads. It's Intel's first go at an IMC so I'll cut 'em some slack I guess!
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.
You right that this is the first Intel with an IMC. But! Intel specifically says all 1366 i7s should be able to run 3x2gb at 1066 (of approved memory chips) and still be with in voltage specifications. So any board should be able to do that with any 1366 i7.
Though, the OPs problem is with the board not the CPU.
Also it should be noted that the bios can have a effect on how well a rams memory chips will work and overclock (either speed or timings).
