Decent i7 OC Start?

Well, this is my first time OCing in about six years. I just thought I would post some pics of where I'm at so far and try to get some advice as to where to go from here. I really don't know much about messing with the settings other than slowly raising my BLCK and adjusting my CPU voltage. That's where I'm looking for advice. I know this overclock isn't really impressive, but I think it's a start.

Temperatures seem to be good for now.

I'm not really sure why the frequencies for my RAM are all different. Is that normal?
 
Your timings are fine. That table just lists the timings and frequencies your RAM has been certified to run at.

edit: Are those load temps?! What cooling are you using?
 
No, they aren't load temps. That's another issue I'm having. Opening three instances of Orthos doesn't put all four of my processors at full load, only three of them. I'm using a Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme that I lapped for about 8 hours total.
 
Man, I need to get rid of this stock cooler. I'm sitting at between 40 to 50 degrees idle with a Q6600 at stock. I probably seated it wrong, but it's stable, even under load.
 
When I really start to pump out some GHz, we'll see how much the hours of lapping my heatsink really helps.
