In case anyone else was following this, I asked before what everyone though might be better (I did come up with my own answer):
4-4-4-12 @ 800MHz, 2.20V
5-5-5-12 @ 891MHz, 2.20V
On Patriot 5600+ (700MHz) RAM... That seems like a good overclock for some older RAM. I'm happy.
I ended up playing with the FSB speed too in order to see what I could get out of the CPU without bumping Vcore, since the processor is 3 days old. I can get my E6600 (2.4GHz) to E6700 speed (2.7GHz), but the computer automatically power-cycles after a few minutes of playing Quake 4 if I go for 3.0GHz. I backed off the timing on the RAM so I know it's the CPU. At 900MHz I could not get any timings to work error-free, but the Memtest86 showed no errors at 800MHz. I used Quake 4 in this instance to tax the CPU because it's on of the few games to use dual cores, and it's more fun than running Prime95 for example.
891MHz on the RAM is apparently right at the edge. For now I've settled on 4-4-4-12 @ 800MHz, 2.20V for the RAM and 300MHz FSB instead of 266MHz. I have my new video card overclocked slightly too; so I did get everything to work. After a few weeks I'll bump Vcore a little and see what it can do with my Thermalright XP-120 cooler. Watching temps right now at idle, my mobo is at 32C and my CPU between 30-31C. (Room is 71F).
