Help with overclocking Q9450

Hi all,

I got my new pc parts recently, and with water cooling so I could OC my cpu. However, I am having many problems even OCing slightly from stock.

System:
Q9450 @2.66Ghz @2.73Ghz
8Gb G.skill PC2-8500 5-5-5-15 2T @ 900Mhz
Asus P5N32-e sli
150Gb Raptor X 10,000rpm
2 x EVGA 8800gts 512Mb SSC

I cant seem to get 350FSB even putting the Vcore to 1.40V, and the memory won't go higher than 950Mhz with 2.2V, with the VTT at 1.55V (Max on this board). The NB is at 1.35V and the SB is currently 1.5V. Temperatures are 31-36 idle, 45 full load.

My aim was to try and get the Q9450 to 3.2Ghz (400x8), and the memory to 1066Mhz (its rated speed) with 5-5-5-15 2T timings. Any help would be highly appreciated
