I would like some help in getting this overclock stable as I really just want to sit on 3.2ghz w/o killing my ram speed by 100mhz.

FSB: 7x458
Memory: 1:1 916mhz
CPU: 1.375v
vdimm: +0.4v (2.2v)
G(MCH): +0.2v

Temps

idle: 54/53
load: 67/66

It fails all the different orthos tests after about 30 minutes. Yet surprisingly it'll happily do the OCCT (overclock check test) on blend for 2.5hours+. So any suggestions on what voltages I can increase to get some stability w/o damaging anything?
 
You're asking ALOT from DDR2-667 RAM... Most don't overclock that far past 800mhz.

I think you're at your RAM's limit.

You should be doing 8 x 400 and see if you can manage that first
 
There's tons of benchmarks on Anandtech showing very little real-world difference between DDR2-533 and DDR2-800 (or even 1000 - I forget). It was on the order of 5fps or something unnoticeable like that.

Anyway I would up your vcore - I had my E6300 at 460x7 on 1.4V. Totally stable but OTOH I was also using an active northbridge cooler. My DDR2-800 OCZ platinum RAM crapped out at 460 though so consider yourself lucky!

I've given up and gone back to 7x450 as 8x400 refused to be stable even with 1.375v.
