Have you checked the stickies for OCing C2D/C2Q? Read them and then return. You don’t need to interact with the PCI-E bus. After reviewing a guide on OC'ing my q8300, I noticed the PCI-E should be set to 100mhz, but when trying to OC my CPU it reached around 3.13GHz on FSB 418, which is its highest setting. What should I do next? Are there other adjustments I can make to exceed 418?
I think that is a very good OC to be honest with you. You run the risk of killing the CPU/Mobo and not being able to replace them. Did you read about 'the wall' there is an area of stability past a zone of instability, but I can't recall where. BUT the risks are high for not much benefit. I wouldn't go much further.

I think thats the area where the wall is, anw i will keep it that way, i already got higher scores in benchmarks, that's good! Thanks y'all for your help!
Monitor the temperatures and voltages, ensure the case provides adequate cooling to maintain the chip's performance. Be prepared for failure (my board failed after a slight overclock on a solid platform).
