I'll be happy with 3.6Ghz under 1.40v (if possible at all), but I also want to choose the best FSB for the RAM I have, which does 1.2Ghz easily... so I'm in doubt about which multi/FSB scheme to use...
For me 480x8 was a sweet spot but had stablity issues with the 266 strap needed to hold DDR1204. 5;5 for DDR1153 was butter zone afterall for mine. You can also try 450x w/ a 1200MHz setting (I forget what strap). 450x8 at around 1.41v was a snap for mine in DDR1200.

When I'm benching, i get hard lockups 5 minutes into windows at 4.6Ghz (512FSb), its not my ram, or CPU.. I tried up to +0.25v (G) MCH and +0.2v on FSB. What else could help this?
If speaking of the Q6600, it is FSB limited to around 509 tops, but 501 average for stability or reality use. Read my previous post of what to aim for in getting 500x8 stable w/ Q6600 GO early rev. Key points; PLL, GTL_Ref and FSBT. For most, PLL needs to be over 1.632v, FSBT of 1.472v~1.504v, and GTL_Ref of CPU/Chipset to 63% each, cPU can go 67%~71% if available. (like on DFI, Abit, or ASUS). Adjust vcore as needed, but 500FSB on a quad need some good 1.55v+ even on 8x (not seen any do it on 9x over 455FSB even w/ 1.6v+). The jump from 480x to 500x is big in vcore.
