higher FSB will not hurt your chip. higher voltages will. Only increase the voltage if you get stability problems, and only in small increments. my E4500 is running at 3ghz with 1.4v exactly... it took a while to tweak the voltage so it wouldn't crash and didn't give me high temps.

it is 800mhz stock. it went up to 900mhz without changing voltage/timings. I haven't gone higher for the sake of stability, I don't have much spare time this term, with end of year tests and all so i like to keep things running stable.
