Overclocking Q6600 G0

How far have people pushed their Q6600? I'm a noob when it comes to overclocking, I know very little about fiddling with voltages and RAM timing, but I was able to push it from stock 2.4GHz to 3GHz (+25%) by changing the FSB to 342. I've gone a bit more conservative and wound that back to 2.64GHz (+10%, FSB 293). I haven't changed anything else, do I need to look at increasing voltages in order to keep things stable? I'd prefer stability over speed but I've read that the Q6600 overclocks well, so I thought I'd at least give it a gentle nudge

BTW this is not the stock cooler, I have installed a Zalman 9500
