What is the maximum FSB and voltage I can overclock my cpu I have it running at 2.66 at 32c idle 50c after 20 min of orthos stress test, I have the bios of my GAP35-SL3 on auto mode for the voltage but everest show me 1.4, talking about these can anyone advise on a software that can show the voltage of my CPU

Are you using the stock cooler? Your temps are a little high for that speed/voltage.
I've talked to quite a few people who have reached 3.0GHz+ with stock voltage.

Mine is @ 3.25ghz @ 1.51~v and that is as low as I could get it. The temp is hitting 39c idle 66c full load orthos, probably about 55c when gaming at the most. I seen a site that pushed there's to where mine is 3.25ghz and they had to use 1.6v. All chips are a little different.

well thanks both for your help, What I want to do is to set it to the max trying not to damage anything, I am using a gigabyte cooler is the Rocket II the one with cooper base and heat pipes, and under that I have Artic Silver 5, It will be better to get the highest I can without messing with the voltage, cause I read that it is not so good for the life of your components, B4 this post I asked someone to advice how to configure my CPU because I am new at this, so if someone could help me on this, give me an advise to what config to use, I know is too much but I will really apreciate it, thanks a lot again for your advices guys

I actually have mine @ 9 multiplier and 350= 3.15ghz now, 350x4 = 1400 fsb I'm running my memory @ 3.33 which in turn ends up being 1180~ fsb @ 5,4,4,8 2.2v. I actually did some testing with benchmarks and that is the sweet spot for it. I can get more performance with the memory cranked up like that rather then the whole 1/1 deal everyone rants about. Which if I did do that, the memory would only be running @ like 720~ fsb.
