In my case the problem is not the chipset.
The NB needs 1.34v only to overclock at 420 FSB.
780i SLI chip is great.
CPU PLL is not so important. CPU gtlref at +30 and NB gtlref at +20 are important though.
CPU PLL at 1.44v, HT at 1.3 and CPU VTT at 1.34 are enough to be stable at 420X8.
My Q6700 CPU needs 1.48v (1.44 real with no load line calibration) to keep up at 420x8=3360. This is too much.
On the other hand, I only need a vcore setting under 1.3v to overclock at 337.5X10=3375 (FSB 1350).
My FSB is definitely CPU limited.
Could I do something about it?

BIOS 1401
I found another "bug" on 1401 BIOS.
With all memory timings set manually, any tWR value (3, or 4 or 5) gives a BIOS reading of 4 and an Everest reading of 5.
When overclocked with the same mem timings, I get a tWR BIOS reading of 3 although I set it at 4.
This is strange. My BIOS knows better.
