Great, gives an idea of what we could expect and what voltages we need for such a high OC.
On jmax-hardware ASUS interview about their X38 boards, ASUS representatives explained the PLL voltage usefullness. But they say that with a PLL voltage of 3.2v they noticed a degradation of their CPU overclocking capabilities.

As ASUS tends to overvolt in auto mode, I would check the PLL voltage for a manual setting one or two notches below the 3.2v limit

Thank you again for filling the table. Hope that Majoram and Sdumperper fill it also for a comparision

You got a great OC on air. But, I do believe more and more that the passive cooling of the motherboard won't handle such extreme OC sttiings in the short term when I see the NB voltage and FSB voltage you need (1.8v).

With your results, and if Majoram and Sdumperper confirm their settings, I'll make the step to the Maximus, remove the stock cooling, put two HR-09U on the mosfets with 2 silent 60 mm fans, my HR-05 IFX+80mm silent fan on the SB and cut th epipes from the NB fusion block to watercool the X38 chip, then give you my feedback

Thanks again
