Yes the strap does affect the memory timings. And at least in my experience you will need to adjust more settings then what the OP has laid out to reach a good overclock. (5.6 is extremely rare - and probably requires extreme cooling)

This might be why you are crashing Wootie.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't changing the BLCK affect the RAM clocks as well?

I completely agree. Stability needs to be tested for several hours.

How far have you actually gone that you can at least verify with CPU-z, and how far have you gotten it that is LinX or Prime95 stable. The math for a high clock is easy, actually stabalizng it can be rather hard.

Yeahhh I highly doubt you're going to hit 5.62Ghz @1.45 vcore. You would have to have the absolutely golden of all the golden chips.
