Thanks Doctor Feelgood.
So while I was in bios last night, I looked at the temps that are posted there and I had 22 for the cpu and 34 for the system. (again, with ~23deg in my room...going by the thermostat).
Increasing the voltage made the temps go a little higher, but still couldn't push the speed any higher (I went all the way to 1.46v effective with a 1.5v setting).
I kept the memory at 800MHz in bios so 400MHz clock in CPU Z. I then tryed 1240MHz (620MHz) and it was just as stable, but it seems to be the top limit for the memory.
It seems that the limmiting thing for me is the FSB which will only go to ~1240 MHz (with a 310MHz entered bus speed). The selection for the multiplyer is 6-9.. I'm using 9 so I'm allready maxed out there.
So what I'm thinking:
1. There is a problem chipset
2. Since the max speed it's the same as the memory limit maybe they're still somehow tied together (the FSB and mem speed) even though I unlinked them....I doubt it though.

For solution I'm thinking to try an older bios that allows me to select a higher multiplyer (F2 I belive goes up to 15) (I'm using F4 now).
How important is to have a high bus speed with a small multiplyer as opposed to smaller bus speed with a high multiplyer???
