First time overclocking on first build

Hello everybody, so I am overclocking for the first time and on my first computer build to boot. So far I've only been able to get to 3.6 stable @ 1.42v and the memory to 832mhz @1.87v with a fsb of 208. Any higher and I get the BSoD in prime95 even if I bump the cpu to 1.47v and the memory @ 1.94v. I've tried bumping up the NB VID .025v, the NB up .025v, and the SB up .025v but I'm afraid of going too far so I haven't gone up more than that and it also didn't help. What would help is if I could find the max voltages and temps for this particular board and if the board would tell me the current voltages of the NB and SB. I think the fact that all 4 dimms on my mobo are populated is holding me back as well as the brand and model of memory I have as it wasn't exactly made for ocing. Tell me what you think and any tips, tricks, or hints would be greatly appreciated.:good:
 
^ uh... I would disregard that...

I ran into a similar problem (stuck with fsb at 208) with ocing my athlon ll X2. On another forum, I read that your memory may be holding you back. Going off of your sig your ram in running at 400mhz stock. It will be a bit higher since you have already overclocked your cpu. Try to up the speed or your memory from 800 to 1066 (from 400 to 533mhz) and you can voltage bump if you need to but set the timings to be kinda loose to allow for your cpu to max out. Hopefully this will allow you to get a bit more out of your oc.
