I have been able to get the board more stable but am getting different readings from different utilities.
I have set the BIOS to 400FSB (1600Mhz), 9X multiplier (3.6Ghz), 1:2.665 RAM ratio (1066Mhz).
EIST is OFF. C1E is OFF.
Here is what cpu-z and coretemp show (they both disagree with the BIOS):

So cpu-z is showing VERY low volts when cpu is set at 1.32v in BIOS. It is not showing ANY overclock, when BIOS says 3.6Ghz.
Coretemp is showing same 3.6Ghz as BIOS, but it is showing the wrong multiple (8x when it should be 9x). It is also showing the wrong FSB (450 when it is set at 400 in BIOS).
Does anyone with more knowledge know what is actually happening in this scenario? Which of the three (BIOS, cpu-z, coretemp) is wrong here?
