Also If I install only 4 out of the 8 sticks for 16GB instead of 32 it is very stable. It must be as you said the IMC on this 5930K CPU is just not cable of handling the 3200MHz C15. I was hoping there was some voltage I can adjust to try to make it work.
The memory controller on the X99 platform is integrated into the CPU.
So it might very well be that you replacement CPU's memory controller is just not capable of running the memory at the same speeds as your other CPU.
Also Broadwell-E is far better at handling higher ram-speeds than Haswell-E (from my experience hw-E generally has _problems_ running ram at >3000mhz out of the box).
On the other hand, if you are absolutely positive that your 6950X is/was defunct, of course there could still be a slight chance for the motherboard to also have taken some damage.
But personally I think your memory instabilities originate due to your replacement CPU being a Haswell-E based CPU as stated above.
