My New PC BIOS Configuation.

I have been overclocking my new PC to run at 3.6GHZ 11X333, but I have also been trying to run at FSB 400MHZ (x 9) and DDR3 at 1600MHz. With help from Xtreme Systems forum, My PC is now running at 9x400 with RAM at 1600. Here is my BIOS setting:

Asus P5E3 Wifi (BIOS 0601)
Intel QX9650 Retail

Ai Overclock Tuner - Manual
CPU Ratio Control - Manual
CPU Ratio Setting - 9
FSB Strap to North Bridge - Auto
FSB Frequency - 400
PCIE Frequency - 100
DRAM Frequency - DDR-1600
DRAM Command Rate - 2T
DRAM Timing Control - Manual

DRAM Timings
7-7-7-20
Rest are Auto
DRAM Static Read Control - Disabled
DRAM Dynamic Write Control - Disabled
Ai Clock Twister - Auto
Ai Clock Skew for Channel A - Auto
Ai Clock Skew for Channel B - Auto
Ai Transaction Booster - Auto

CPU Voltage - 1.30
CPU PLL Voltage - 1.60
FSB Termination Voltage - 1.50
DRAM Voltage - 1.90
NB Voltage - 1.51
SB Voltage - Auto
Clock Over-Charging Voltage - Auto
CPU GTL Voltage Reference - Auto
NB GTL Voltage Reference - Auto
CPU Spread Spectrum - Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum - Disabled

I confirmed that I can overclock to 4GHz stably (Increase CPU Voltage to 1.4 or slightly higher) with this FSB 400 and RAM 1600. I'll have to improve airflow before I let it run at 4GHz.
