My rig cleared stage 7 (and even got a call on whether I want to pick it up since I am also in the bay area).

What I noticed is the Bios version that is configured is the November 09 release, where 0402 was released on 12/1.  This has some OC tweaks to it so I wanted to mention it on the forum, especially given the engineer (who called me during testing to give me a heads up) that put the system together said that the mobo wasn't taking the higher OC settings in well, which resulted in a 3.3GHz system as a result vs. the target 3.6

The bios may make a difference, I suppose I will find out when I receive the machine in a few days and start by updating drivers etc.  I just wanted to drop this mention in the mean time.

From the ASUS web site:
P6X58D Premium 0402 BIOS
1.Enhance OC Profile storage space from 2 to 8 slots.
2.Enable instant display of Target CPU & DRAM Frequency under Ai Tweaker

well call them and tell them that you want the new bios to be applied, they will do that for you but you will have to give them more time, as they may have to redo your oc adn get it stable.

Unless you really, really want to do it yourself, I second DST's suggestion.
