EDIT:
3.52 with only 1.275v on the BIOS? Thats great, that gave me an idea on how far I can get mine to, that 3.6GHz I got to was a "quick" OC to benchmark and I had set the BIOS to 1.3125v vdroop to 1.280v, and it ran quite stable after a couple of 3DMark06 runs. But it heats up alot during 8k FFTs, it easily hits over 70C. Poor Zalman 9500 can't handle 1GHz overclock lol

Mine is running with 9700, but i need to reseat it and washer mod it (rubber washer under the CPU heatsink mounting thingie...) for a better pressure. Think i should still be able to get it down a few °C. Also, im quite sure i do have much more TIM on it atm then its supposed to be there.

But yeah, these chips are awesome, im sure you can drop a lot of vcore there and it will still be stable

I did buy a 9700NT for mine, but my cases 200mm sidefan wont allow me to use it, and before summer @ stock speeds, I could get better performance with the 9500 with the fan disabled - 0RPM and the 200mm working, than with the 9700 @ 2200RPM without the side fan.
