Vcore: 1.47V up to 1.5V
CPU PLL: 1.64V
NB: 1.51V up to 1.55V
DRAM: 2.1V (2.2V in BIOS)
FSB: 1.4V
SB: 1.15V
CPU/NB GTL: Auto

I then lowered my FSB down to 350MHz and I still could not boot into windows.

Then I tried to see how far I could go with a multi of 11x and I was able to reach 11x335MHz w/ similar voltages listed above w/ RAM @ ~1000MHz same timmings.

Could some one explain why I can't reach 3.6GHz (9x400) but I can reach 3.685GHz (11x335)?
It seems depending on your settings for tranaction booster and static read control the voltages for the NB vary enormously... Most users here are at 1.6 NB voltage... I'm at 1.32 for 400FSB with my Q6600@3200 but I disabled the transaction booster and set level 1 ( static read control is enabled and jields for me slightly higher bandwith at 400FSB/1003 ram speeds )... can you try that if it helps to improve ya stability... those are pretty tight timings you are running there... by the way running 2 x 2 Gskills PC8000 ram ( so not 4 dimms )
