Some other stable FSBs:
440 on Vcore=1.3 LLC=on
450 on Vcore=1.36 LLC=on
460 on Vcore=1.38 LLC=on

What can I do to go above 470????? I think Vcore=1.4 is already too high...
Only thing I see is to mess with the GTL voltages, but think you gotta get another CPU that needs less volts... most CPU's need a whole lotta extra volts over a certain speed for a few hundred Mhz more... if you need already 1.36 at 3.6ghz I think it's better to leave it at that speed then...and call it a day...
