Yeah use 356MHz x 9 = 3204MHz=3.2GHz
Edit: For 400MHz fsb you may find that you will need to increase northbridge voltage aswell otherwise known as MCH vcore for stabilising your system at 400MHz.

What would you consider a safe voltage for a Q6600?

Yeah try with this setting first. Also what was your FSB when you overclocked to 3.0GHz? In my case it was 334MHz x9 = 3006MHz=3.0GHz
I did 333 x 9 to get to 3.0Ghz. I have heard the best way to get to 3.2ghz is 8 x 400. Anyone enlighten me on this?

Voltages can be funny though. For instance, for 3.2Ghz stable on my Q6600, I just needed 1.325V. My VID is 1.300 so only +0.025V. For my 3.6Ghz, I have it at 1.5V in BIOS. In windows I show 1.42V under Prime95 load. I have no idea is thats a good or bad drop but my system is stable, its not running hot and I am happy.

I'm running a Q6700 at 3.2Ghz @ 1.2825v
ie 356 x 9 just like WingZero30 told you more than once
because I have a slighlty higher multiplier (x10) I could run it at 320 x 10 but it actually runs cooler at 356 x 9, again as already explained
