Cpu,Qpi/Dram core Voltage questions

I am a little confused about the voltage settings. Ive just Overclocked my i7 930 to 3.4mhz and my Dram frequency is 1634mhz, Ive only stress tested them for about 30 minutes but they are fine so far. My question is about the voltage. My cpu voltage is 1.33125 and the qpi/dram core is 1.26875, i set the dram bus voltage to 1.64, which i think is right. Should i lower both until the system will shut done to get a lower voltage? would that be better? Or is this good? Also can I only OC as high as my Dram Frequency remains stable, At one point my cpu was around 3.0mhz and my dram was at 1841 which was not stable, i don't no how it reached 1841mhz because i left it at 1600, the options started to change as i got my cpu higher and now i got back to 1643mhz.
 
You can always experiment with various voltages (though risky) until you fnd the settings that's stable and you're most happy with.
 
The ram goes off the base clock. Just the the CPU has a multiplier, the ram uses a multiplier as well.

You probably have the multiplier at 10 on the ram, your motherboard should have settings to knock this back to a multiplier of 8 so you can overclock your CPU more.

Are you just running the stock CPU cooler? If so, are you watching your temps with Real Temp?
