Temperatures are now lingering at about 36-37 degrees C and at load go to 42-45 degrees C at most.
I tried upping the FSB Further to 235, it loaded windows, but as it got to the log-in screen, I recieved the blue screen of death due to "memory management".
So, I tried fiddling with RAM settings. Put latencies up to 5,5,5,12, but still same effect.
I considered bumping up the voltage to 2.2V, but that seems a little high? :S

gskill HZ need at least 2.2V to run at speeds over stock. some people get them to run (supposedly) at high overclocks with less than that, but i have personally never been able to do it. apokalipse says it can take 2.4, but i have read that D9s do not like that high of voltage, as they are more sensitive than the promos to voltage. i just read that, i'm not going to swear to it. but i haven't given my HZ more than 2.225 in any event, nor am i likely to. although, gskill will replace them if you overvolt a little and they fry, so maybe i will.
your temps are good, but you are reaching the operating ceiling for your cpu. i wouldn't expect you to get much higher, but you have it at like 3.5....so thats pretty good.
although, i would like for you to post a cpuz screen of the memory tab, so i can see the cpu divider and ram speed with it set to ddr2 667 (im not that familiar with the dividers for 6000). please post that.
also, you may try to lower the ram speed even further to ddr2 533 and see what happens. but a t ddr2 677, you should be below stock....which is why i want to see the screenshot of cpuz. you may have your cpu maxed. probably ram related, though. it ususally is, i find.
post those shots and we'll see what we can do.
