He was posting a link to a guide that i was following. Read it ! Very good reading and this made me understand how things work together on a X58 system.
Also i was following the step by step guide thats inside this guide!

I have 1600Mhz corsair (But now i am running them in 1560Mhz now along with CPU 3.5GHz)
I had major issues in the beginning to even bring + 1 mhz out of this Mobo/cpu/Ram !
What i did was following. Reset my bios as i did mess up everything essentially.
Just to start from zero again!
I loaded the optimized default and the only things i change was following
1. Disabled C3/C6/C7 state support
2. Disabled CPU enhanced halt (C1E)
3.
QPI/VTT 1.2V
4. Ram voltage 1.66v (Check your spec)
5.
Vcore 1.2V
6. SPD 8X
7. Uncore X16 (I think)
(Check your temps all the time!)
Now i tested to raise the BCLK to 180 and ran Prime95. If it was ok i raised the BCLK 10MHz and checked again. And so on... untill it would be unstable. There are 2 things that made it unstable and it was ether the QPI/VTT or Vcore that needed more juice. I then gave ether of them 1 more step! So after i reached my gole + 200mhz i step back and lowered the QPI/VTT and Vcore. I don't want to put more power on the chip and cpu that's needed. Now i am very satisfied with 3.5GHz 24/7 . Its just an amazing CPU!
Ohh and thank you all who helped me! Without this forum im not sure i would have reached above 1.2 GHz
