my 1.325 chip needs 1.51 Volts to get to 3.6Ghz.... Have to set it much higher in the bios however because of droop/drop.
my Q6600 has got about the same VID, was a bit worried I wound not get it anywhere near 3Ghz, which is as far as I wont to go. I relay wouldn't want to get to the 80 mark on temps. and over 1.50 vcore is insane! I just don't have the guts to do that.
Well I primed my system running at 3.2ghz 1.475 BIOS 1.38V REAL stock cooler last night and 1 of the cores failed after 1 hour 37 minutes so I guess I need even more volts!!!
So I backed off and primed at 3.0ghz 1.38125 BIOS 1.31 REAL and it passed a 17 hour Prime test - the max temp reached was something like 77C so you should be OK for 3ghz and with a decent cooler have those temps down to around 65C
its @ 1.55v aswellits all about ppl voltage tbh 2.5v on the pll does it
PLL Voltage any higher than 1.8v will significantly reduce the life of your cpu.
Some of the temps for these quads are getting a bit scary, surely you guys don't run these 24/7 at these temps I mean even 70 degrees I just wouldn't be comfortable with ...
I am currently sitting with mid 50's on prime and a Thermaltake V1 CPU cooler set to low @3.1ghz for the few hundred mhz increase the temps (and upping the cooler speed to give more noise) just aren't worth it.

70 degrees is fine and is still well within spec. Also it's important to remember that the temps you get whilst running Prime/Orthos or similar are going to be a fair bit hotter than you'll ever see under normal load.
My load temp on my quad at 3.5GHz after 24 hours of Prime95 averages 62 degrees for all cores but in reality I rarely see over 55 even when I'm making decent use of all cores.
