Try it and find out
I will just want some tips on what volts the cpu/motherboard can take
you may have to input the pll/vtt voltages urself, not sure what ur mobo calls them, but sometimes having them on auto fails. Maybe also ur ram is running to fast, try running that abit slower to see if thats holding the cpu back too, try running the fsb/memory 1:1 so the memory is'nt going over spec, then u will know if its the memory or something else.
I know its not the ram iv tryed it running slower then its rated.
How much more will be safe to add on to the pll/vtt
Just re-read ur earlier postings ur NB volts seem abit low really, especially using that high a fsb, not that they need to be excessive. So may need to bump that up a notch or 2.
mmm on my mobo i have both north bridge and vtt at 1.3v for 4ghz, thats just 0.1 over stock, as the lowest my board will go for them is 1.2.
If it definatly boots up into windows at that vcore, then it sounds like vtt and or NB need a boost, put them both up a notch, boot up and see if it makes a difference, if not try another notch, its how i found my best settings, took abit of time though.
But then again iv never clocked a quad yet so my stuffs only about E8400, so hopefully someone with better knowledge of those quads will post.

NB might just need a bump to around 1.2v, unsure on the max for P45 boards but would imagine upto 1.35v is fine.
VTT for your chip can go upto 1.4v for 24/7 use, its mostly like VTT that will need to be upped as you have not specified what it is
