Suggestions for further overclock?

So I acquired the parts in my sig over the course of this past week (E6600 L630F071, bad axe 2, OCZ PC8500), broke the system in and am now trying to overclock. I managed to get to 3.42 Ghz and passed a round of OCCT with my load temps only reaching 50C or so (idling at 29-30). These temps are more than fine in my eyes, but my goal is to OC it until the load temps are around 55-57.

Now, I have a 1:1 divider on my RAM with the following settings:

voltage: 2.28
ref frequency: 266mhz
mem frequency: 533mhz
3-3-3-8

but I can't get the system stable over my current CPU settings:

I think my Vcore might be too high--1.475--but I don't know. My FSB voltage is 1.35 and my MCH v is 1.575.


Granted, I haven't run dual orthos for multiple hours, but from what I've read this OCCT program is pretty useful. Also, if I try to increase the FSB OCCT crashes within a minute of starting (after the idle phase, that is) so it seems like something else is limiting me. Suggestions?

Also, is there a way I can increase my RAM frequency to 800mhz without increasing my FSB to 400 (as I can't get this stable)?
 
well those are stock temps? what is your temp on full load. Because thats a nice temp for 1.45vcore dude.
