Anyone help me with this overclock?

I'm using an i7 920 D0. I've used 1.18v on the CPU and 1.65 on this RAM at 9-9-9-24 when I had 6GB. I recently installed another 6GB kit and the same overclock still is producing good results so I figure that I didn't have things as tight as possible before, so I pushed the volts to 1.15v and the speed to 3.5 ghz. I'm using 1333 mhz RAM speed as I can see no difference between that and 1600 mhz and I can get better voltage out of my CPU that way. I'm wondering if it's safe to drop the RAM volts to 1.5 even though I have 6 sticks of it now. Anyone have any experience in the matter?

Here is the current CPUZ validation. I set RAM to 1.5 since the specs for this RAM list 1333 mhz as being 1.5v. Went through 5 iterations of p95 without crashing but the temps did strangely drop to 46C for a few seconds during the test and then went back up. Could just be a CoreTemp bug though.

EDIT: It seems to be fairly stable, but I've only been gaming and doing some programming in C for a class. I'll probably leave prime 95 running while I'm at work today just for one last stability test before Diablo 3 comes out.
