Well nobody knows, nobody knows. If I were you I would stay at 1.375 and 4ghz since you don't really need any more power anyway.

I was testing alittle and noticed that my chip requires only 1.16v running a 3600! And I have it now stable at 3840mhz @ 1.23v. So you can get pretty high with low voltages, 4ghz seems to take more.

Funny, because right at this moment Im experimenting with 3600 myself. Its a good number since 1200 mhz ram speed suits me too. It seems that I need 1.225 vcore (1.192 windows) to get Orthos stable maybe a little more.

You must have a good batch. Is 1.16v your bios or "real" vcore at 3600?
