I have been thinking about the IMC issues many guys are talking about. I bet the guys that are having trouble with brands, also have insanely high Bandwidth results.
Basically it boils down to it being another FSB issue. Since BCLK can not be upped, you gotta drop mem speed/timings to not over saturate.
Think it is why, for instance, Wprime runs easily at lower volts, and things like superpi require more. Since it is hitting the mem pretty hard too.
As for recommendations, I do not have one for your Chuch. only experience is with Dleuxe and learning hte pro right now.
New BIOS on the Deluxe works really well, M4E is ASUS flagship, so expect to pay for it.
asrock IS ASUS as far I am concerned.
OH, phases are not as important anymore, 4 phase power is Intel spec and their boards clock sandyB pretty well. Although I am chip limited at ~5.2 ish more speed might need more power.
Loaded sandyBs at 4.8GHz are using like 230W vice 81W at idle of power though (total system)
