First off here are my specs:

C2D E6850
P5K Premium Black Pearl
Mushkin PC6400 5-5-5-15

I'm running it at 3.4GHz at stock voltage right now and everything is stable and it only gets to 48-52C at full load. My question is about the ram however my FSB is at 378MHzx9 right now. PC6400 means it's rated to 400MHz correct? I haven't built a computer in awhile so I totally forgot what all the numbers meant. I'm asking because I want to push it to 3.6GHz but I don't want to push this ram too much.
 
"Pushing" the RAM shouldn't be too much of an issue. They will most definitely do 400MHz (FSB) with no increase in vdimm, so there's nothing to worry about there.

Keep in mind that (well, I've found anyway) that it's easiest to stablize your system when running the RAM frequency twice the speed of the FSB. (PC6400 = 800MHz = 400 FSB)

this article is very helpful:

I got it to 3.6GHz but the system BSOD's with 1.35V. It's stable at 1.4V however, do you think that's a bit too high?
 
No. Im running 1.525Vcore in order to have stable 3.8gh z 24/7

I idle arounf 33c and Load @ 55c
