Sure, plenty of phenom II's can get to 3.6ghz on air... with 32 bit Windows. I just installed Windows 7 x64 and I can tell you that the difference between x86 and x64 and alot. 4ghz at 1.6v doing the 8k at prime in x64 made my evap head get all the way up into the -10's range, I can't touch temperatures that high with x86 and I do 4.16 stable with the new bios. I think its supposed to be rated to do 0C at 200W load, and if it climbs that much then its drawing more than that because at 1024k it was sitting at -40C.
Edit: But right now temperatures seem to be back under control with the voltage dropped to 1.575 in bios. Still draws much more power in x64 making 3.6ghz extremely hard to do on stock volts. My cpu isn't the greatest because it only does 3.48 on stock volts.
