I've been overclocking my 175 and this is what I have so far:

I'm not going for 2.9 or anything that extreme, as I do not have watercooling. This is what I have so far:

2.6 GHz
CPU freq. 260
multiplier: 10x
CPU volts: 1.4
HT bus @ 1044 MHz w/ 4x multiplier obviously

RAM 217MHz DDR 333 "divider"
timing: 2.5-3-3-8 1T
volts: 2.75

Is there anything the [H] gods here think I should do to improve this? My idle temps are 33* load about 42* for the CPU.

Is this the max you can get, or just the farthest you have tried w/stock voltage?

This is the most I have gone with the given settings. I am perplexed at what to do with my RAM timings and how I should proceed further.

I have read that it is better to have tighter timings but lower RAM clock speed....or that I should try to have a lower HTT multiplier....I am just really confused so I am posting my setup to see if someone can offer constructive feedback on what I should change.
 
Have you tried taking the ram out of the equation? (1:2 ram divider, ht multi 3x, find max htt, cpu multi 5x)
After you find the max htt, start oc'ing the cpu....ah helll......just read Eclipse's guide. He explains it better :p
