Am I hitting the proverbial wall?

I'm running an MSI P35 Neo2-FR, an E6300 w/Xigmatek S1283 cooling, an XFX 7900GT, and 2GB of Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 ram.
Presently i'm stable at 467 FSB, my CPU w/a 7x multiplier & 1.3v & ram 1:1, 4-4-4-12 & 2.1v.
When I bumped it up to 471, I got to the desktop, but the system restarted on its' own. I bumped the voltage up gradually to 1.4v, but got the same results.
I don't think the motherboard's holding me back...perhaps the CPU or the ram?
Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Well, you've either reached the limit of your CPU, motherboard, or RAM. Raise your RAM timings, and if that doesn't work, you can try raising your motherboard voltages, if you haven't already.

at that high of an fsb you need to bump up the nb voltage and probably cpu vtt as well.
