Here's the bsods I got while trying to run ten instances of tf2, each in their own sandbox (the task I found to always cause a bsod if I was using 4 sticks at 1333 or higher):

Sorry to be dense but could you summarize the main point I should be taking from that thread or link the specific post I should be referring too? Did you mean this post?:
Did i follow bad advice for getting RAM to run at 1600? - Memory - Motherboards-Memory
I've actually been running it at 2T command rate no matter what other settings I've changed as I've heard its important to stability. He also says to up nb/cpu to 1.2-1.25 and dram to 1.55-1.6 (mine already defaults to 1.6). I tried 1.2 on the nb/cpu and it didn't seem to help, was scared to go higher than that.
But in essence it looks like hes saying just run it at the spec timings but at 1333 instead of 1600? Correct? (Edit: just saw the part about knocking the FSB up to 240 to run at 1600. I'll probably just use the settings I'm testing now if it works since I don't want to degrade the IMC. A loss that is likely negligible seems a fair trade for cpu longevity.) If that's the case I'll probably just stick to what I'm doing now, which is 6-6-6-16 at 1066 assuming it will work. No random bsods yet which I was getting at 1600. I'm checking now to see if I can force a bsod with the memory intensive task that caused it when I was running 8-8-8-24 @ 1333.
