You should be able to do 4.0GHz on < 1.375v.

So for Folks with a VID of 1.3250v my condolences, there may be the odd 1 or 2 out there that will reach 3.6GHz but you need alot of power. Also from observation, many of the Q6600 with the 1.325v VID may originate from OEM processors.
I think this is theoretical mumbo jumbo as I can totally contradict this with my own findings with some CPU's E6600 and Q6600... I still think the wafer number and the A or B stepping ( or batch or whatever some refer it too ) are more important then VID... I had a few F and G CPu's that were total crap although they got the lowest vid I ever had on an E6600... but went up well till a certain speed and then required massive voltage to get any higher, also some had lower FSB walls then the higher vids... also the 2 Q6600 I own ( I already sold one to be replaced soon) had 2 totally different vids ( 1.2125 and 1.2750 ) both clock up to 3.6Ghz with minor difference in voltage...though temps are totally different , the first one is an A stepping second B and the B still gets hotter ( same finding as I had with other COre2 duo's )...

I think it's a hit and miss with all CPU's some batches ( weeks etc wafers ) perform alike some are totally different...
