I even did a suicide run at 9x400 for 3.6 GHz and 1.5v, got past the POST splash and froze on Windows so I dunno if it is board limitation or just plain too hot (after 3 attemps, I cannot boot anymore so I had to let the computer off for 10 mins before I can boot back in BIOS).
I'm currently running at 3.4 GHz, 1.375v (1.36v in SpeedFan) and running Prime95 for 10 mins now. Load temp in SpeedFan is 43-51C (varying), which is good.
I believe that if I go with watercooling, I will be able to run at 3.55 - 3.6 GHz without issues.
