Cant get 3.8GHz, to bad my VID is a crappy 1.325.
I can however get a nice 450x8@1200ram ( priming now) with decent volts 1.50v actual and full load 58c, so I am happy with that.
I was hoping that the 10 multi would give me a 4.0GHz quad core 24/7 setting but I guess its not to be.
Seems I will have to sell a kidney and grab a QX for me to achive my goal. I am torn between a C2D or a Quad for my daily use, I love the bandwidth the wolfdale gives me, but I miss the raw power of a quad. Maybe I should go AMD

In regards to your S3/S4 issue I have for the first time had S3 fail, OCCT was running and it would not recover from S3, black screen only, I had to reset to get the rig back, first time its ever happend, I will do some testing this weekend regarding S3/S4 and see what I can come up with for my settings and share my results.
I threw my Q6700 back in my rig tonight and I'm testing it out at 9x425 to see if it can handle it with decent volts and temps. If all goes well, my QX9650 might be for sale. (Not selling because I want to, selling because the CRA just sent me a bill for a large sum of money because they overpaid me on my tax return two years ago)

So far it's the Q6700 is going strong at 1.448 small fft at 3.825
