He's not talking about 1.6v and 4GHz, he's talking about a 3.2GHz at 1.35v. If there's a problem, it is suerely a low vcore not a too high one causing hang ups

Remember, not all CPUs are the same. You're stable 3.6GHz at 1.35v, I'am at 1.33v, I was at 1.44v on my previous G0, and others are stable at only 1.5v...

If you can do 3.6ghz on 1.4v, then you certainly do NOT need 1.35 for 3.2ghz, voltage is NOT linear correlation to frequency. Therfore my point was that he would be using unnecessary volts, and unnecessary wear to his CPU, and if it were stable it would require closer to stock voltage for 3.2ghz.
So what exactly is it your baiting over?

Mines pretty new batch, and I have ~1.43v set in BIOS which is only 1.35v real.
So 1.4v just seems normal for 3.6ghz, mine needs a lot more voltage to go over 3.7ghz stable so I dont bother. 3.6ghz stable and lower volts than my E6600 is good enough for me.
