i've ran and OC'd 5x q6600 now and the same result every time (at least on this mobo)
400x9 for 3.6Ghz requires 1.40 to 1.375v - most run fine on 1.425v.
The reason why this works differently is because it varies between motherboards. My matx system actually ran 1.350v when set to 1.425v (before the vdroop mod) so it needed 1.50v set in the bios to run - would you call that 1.35v or 1.50v? most people just report what the bios is set to, regardless of whether teh real voltage is higher or not (now it actually runs higher than the bios is set to, so if i set 1.40v it runs 1.41v)
It took 1.5 real volts for my Q6600 to run at 3.6. Going by his Prime failure earlier, I'm guessing 1.4V, give or take, will do it.
