ahh the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7, its a very good cooler for the price you can easily keep a 2.8-3.0GHz CPU nice and cool.
the thing with silicon is that heat is what damages it ultimately, not just overclocking. the colder the chip the longer it lasts.
and the memory, the chips on those sticks are very poor perfomers and may pop if increased too far. if you had asked us before you went and ordered everything, i would have recommended something with Micron D9 ICs, the best for this purpose.
when the FSB is increased, the memory speed is also ramped up, most people recommend a 1:1 ratio FSB to DRAM setting, the FSB increases proportionally to the memory speed, good enough for a basic OC, D9s for the most part can go to 1200MHz and be stable at 5-5-5-18 2T
Crucial memory is the best to get and cheapest if you are interested.
those Corsair sticks probably can't crack 900MHz without ridiculously raising memory timings
changing the FSB to DRAM ratio to something of 4:3 is a good workaround for this.
