Hi I have had my system for a while now and initially overclocked it, but was wondering if there were any more tweaks/performance gains to be made that I dont know about (possibly FSB/Ram related)

System :

C2D E6750 (1333FSB)
OCZ 4GB (4x1GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz DDR2
BFG OC 8800GTS
Abit IP35-Pro
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme

currently running the following :

I was wondering, the system is stable atm and performs fine, I was simply curious about anything I may have missed? Especially *** ram timings and fsb, the Ram is rated 5-5-5-15 2T, I've heard that 1T will probably be a no go, but the others should perhaps drop down? maybe 4-4-4-14?

Also in pushing the FSB up and lowering the multiplier, or perhaps going from the 1:1 divider to 1:1.25 which would take the RAM above 533?
 
You could try timings of 4-4-4-12. If that doesn't work then the only thing you can try is upping your divider. Looks like a pretty sweet overclock already though, whats your temps like? I guess you could also overclock your GPU if you haven't already.

Temps are up around 55C - 65C depending on the ambient in the room. I've overclocked my GTS to 600/1800/1500 but it requires fan on 100% at lower fan speeds the core overheats and artifacts.

Cheers for the advice, I'll try the timings.
