Voltage question on q6600

I have attached a screenshot of my computer with Prime, CPUZ, and Core Temp all open. I have bumped my FSB up far enough to put it at about 3284 MHz. I have not changed any other settings except setting the multiplier to 9 instead of auto. I'm nervous to keep going because I'm not sure if I should be changing my voltages or anything. I believe it's set on auto right now. Also, when I'm done overclocking, should I switch the multiplier back to auto to save energy? Does auto mean the multiplier lowers at idle speed and raises when it's under a load? My motherboard is an ASUS P5Q Pro P45. Any help would be appreciated!!

At the moment your core v looks ok, I needed around 1.32v for 3.2ghz when I had the Q6600.
See how you get on stress testing.

Another thing to check is your memory volatge and timmings, this should be on the modules them selves.

Speedstep like you mentioned drops the multiplier when idle and raises when stressed, I would enable it.
 
Thanks for the help! My stress testing was giving temperatures of about mid 50s with no crashes, so it seemed okay. Since I'm pretty new to this, I'm not sure how to check my memory voltage and timings and what I should be looking for? So since my vcore looks fine, should I leave it on auto? thanks again!
