Setting DDR3 timings to auto sets it to everything in the far right column.

This is the official memory support list for my motherboard, and yeah I don't see any of the OCZ Black Edition kits listed: http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-870a-ud3.pdf

How much of an impact do those settings have on the performance of the system (benchmarks, Windows Experience Index...) ?

 Maybe it's worth the tradeoff if those setting help you run stable or you could look with CPU-Z at all the timings the SPD reports as being supported, then manually adjust to the most "relaxed" ones if 11-11-11-30 is causing too much of a performance drop

I decided to test both sticks individually again and one of them gave me errors this time. I tested the other stick in the same slot and it passed 4 times with no errors. I'm starting to think maybe I have bad memory slots...? I don't know, but I'm going to test each stick individually, again, over night and see what happens.

Any updates regarding this issue ? What was causing the BSODs, faulty RAM, faulty RAM slot ?

Software does not create hardware issues that simple.
Seems just the memory is faulty and you need to change it.

For the past 48 hours I have tested both sticks, individually with Memtest86+, in memory slot 1 (closest to the cpu) and both have been successful with no errors. So, I either have a BIOS setting that is off or faulty memory slots. I will call Gigabyte tomorrow and find out from them if I really need to RMA or if it's just a simple BIOS setting that needs to be set/changed.

Cache (memory cache) or overclocking could produce that errors.
Sorry, can't help further, it's beyond my knowledge.
