I installed the zalman 9700 led fan and the temperature was around 25C idle which was great so i tried overclocking it higher than my original speed 3.2ghz @ stock speed. I made the cpu cvore to auto and my nvidia voltage read 1.44 which was a bit high. So I decreased my vcore to 1.35 and overclocked it to 3.3ghz successfully stable. I tried raising my FSB in small increments of 5 but windows wouldnt boot. Went back to bios and it says windows is now in safe mode. I tried upping my vcore to 1.4, 1.45. 1.5 and tried booting but didnt work. I tried upping my ram voltage from 2.0 to 2.1 but didnt work. Whats wrong? Is it my chips limit? I read that 3.4 is doable with good air cooling.
currently, my 3.3 @ 1.35 vcore temp idles at around 32-33C and below 45C during load
please help!
ram: 2gb ocz gold xtc pc6400 800 timings: 5-5-5-15 all stock didnt do anything except raise ram voltage to 2.0

Have you tried lowering the HTT to 4. Have you tried lowering the the memory ratio to 5/6?

How do i lower the memory ratio to 5/6? Im new to this overclocking and this is my first comp build please tell me how thanks

Go to the FSB and Memory config page. Where it says FSB-memory clock mode <auto> change it to manual. Under that you can now change FSB-Memory ratio. Changing it to 5/6 will let you get the FSB up to 280mhz before you run out of ram speed again.
 
Wow, I almost have the same rig as you, and i have my E6600 running at 425Mhz with a multiplier of 8. 425x8=3400
