Unless you can get it stable at 2.0v for any decent OC.

this is the thing im not certain it isnt the mobo either.This mobo has an insane vdroop setting to 1.5 gives 1.38volts under load!Post screen also sees my ram as PC4300 when its ddr800
 
ahh before you RMA your ram, can you set everything to default and try to run orthos in blend test?
