I've got the following system and i'm having some problems OCing it. I'm pretty new to overclocking so any help would be great. I started overclocking it and got it up to running stable at 3.65 Ghz (1630 x9) but then i started trying to OC the videocards and it started messing up. so i removed the OC on the cards and it still would freeze during prime95 after like 5 minutes. so i bumped the OC down on the CPU to 3.3 and it wouldn't even post. so i reset the defaults and came here looking for help on what some good numbers would be for OC and the voltages.

e8400 Wolfdale 3.0 Ghz 45 nm w/ stock cooler
Asus p5n32-e sli plus
2 gb (1x2) Corsair pc6400
8600 GT sli to 8600 GT (both OCed at factory)
180 gb 7200 rpm HDD
700 watt Antec Tru-Power trio
Antec 900 Case (5x120mm, 1x200mm)

temps were reaching 68C in everest under load at 3.65 Ghz.
