8x400 is fully stable with 1.4175 volts in bios, 1.3 reported by cpuz under load. I tried 9x400 with 1.4175, 1.45, 1.5, 1.55 and 1.6. I guess my chip just wont do 3.6ghz.
Sorry to chime in so late! This reminds me a lot of my own chip. My chip will do 6x400 at stock (board default 1.25), 7x400 at 1.3125, and needs 1.42v to run 8x400. That's with LLC, without I was using 1.5125 for 100% stability @ 3.2Ghz. My chip won't do 3.6, I'm not happy pushing the voltage above 1.5v.
For reference, here are my settings for this speed; (sig settings)
My current spec: 3.2Ghz 400x8
1.5125v VCC (1.325 default VID) // 1.425v VCC /w LLC (results in 1.40v idle, 1.408v load)
1.20v PLL (default)
1.50v FSB Term (default)
1.25v MCH / NB (default)
1.05v SB (default)
1.5v SB2 (default)
2.0v DRAM (board default 1.80v, EPP 2.0v default)
I've similarly strange walls with my setup. For example, if I change the FSB strap to 400Mhz for 1:1 memory it fails to boot 100% of the time. I can't figure it out; I've relaxed the tRD to 16. MCH all the way to 1.4v, PLL to 1.35v, FSB to 1.6v and it still fails to boot at 400Mhz 1:1. Oh by the way 333x9 also fails to boot no matter what I tried.
