MatthewF01, buy a 92mm fan for that heatsink, it makes a very large difference in cooling performance. the thermalright heatsinks love 92mm over 80mm.
also,heat is whats holding you back. you need to keep temps below 50C to keep most stability when overclocking barton cores.
42C max for me = 2.6ghz@1.825volts with your same stepping.
hmm, ill have to make the switch to a 92 then.
sometimes i run the YSTech 80mm at full crank when im gaming or running folding (and not sitting in front of it getting a headache)... so whats a good quiet 92mm that will output more air than my 80mm maxed out all the way?
this is my first delve into the world of 92mm fans haha..
well i don't even know how many CFM your 80mm puts out

its not so much the CFM,its the air pressure and area it hits thats also important. even if you got a 92mm that puts out less CFM than your 80mm,it will still probably cool your heatsink much better because it pushing air over a greater surface area.
once i get my SP-97 in,i intend to use a 90mm Thermaltake fan i got from newegg, 57cfm@34 or so db,nearly silent.
