I don't want to make it super fast, and the board only supports 800 ddr2, so i want to know if the best way to overclock without messing up the FSB is just to change the multiplier a little. I figure ill just up the multiplier by 2 or 3, do you think this is enough or should i do more, is this an issue? Please, let me know if this is a bad idea or a good idea or if you have a better idea?

These guys below me don't know ****, i know more than enough about computers, i've just never overclocked and the E6600 runs at a 30 C with stock cooler so i know i can overclock it with stock cooler at least by 2 multipliers.. is anyone out there smart?

Good idea, unfortunately an impossible idea. Both Intel and AMD have long since locked the multipliers to prevent you from doing this. Some motherboards do allow you to drop the multiplier down lower, good for if you increase FSB speed a lot, but none will allow you to raise the multiplier. Hence you are stuck raising the FSB speed, which is the better option anyway, increases the bandwidth going to the rest of the system in addition to increasing CPU speed. By the way, if your RAM is capable, you can overclock your RAM as high as you want with that board, it only "officially" supports 800. If you want further info, email or instant message me.

Overclocking is always a bad idea if you're unfamiliar with the process. The first thing you do is to upgrade your cpu cooler, period, best case scenario go with water.
In addition to OCing the cpu you'll want to OC the memory as well to keep everything in time, which may require a memory cooler. if you just crank up your multi or fsb you're unsyncing all of your hardware.
My advice is to not do it, it's not worth it.

Asus temperature probe, i might anticipate, is warning you that the temperature of your Ram modules is basically too intense (probable intense adequate to be of harm concern) earlier you attempt any Overclocking, confirm your case is satisfactorily cooled, and that the via-bypass of air is unobstructed (or as sparkling as achieveable). additionally evaluate using a 2nd self sustaining temperature monitoring application, to ensure that the CPU isn't melting. The voltage it refers to is the quantity of voltage being despatched to the Ram modules. it must be that your cooling setup isn't adequate to get rid of the warmth generated, and Asus probe is suggesting lowering the voltage, whether maximum DDR2 Ram runs suitable at around a million.2V, if I bear in techniques wisely. i think of that's suitable to prod this around a committed talk board, including custom computing device's talk board. you ought to discover infinitely extra knowledgable human beings than I there.
