Yeah, perhaps you did.
"
I know that more fan speed gives significantly lower temperatures but does not raise the OC at all....So my OC isn't limited by cooling, right?" Uh, running the fans faster doesn't make the CPU go faster. That's done in the BIOS.
When you say you can't get any higher FSB, even with a divider that brings up a couple of quesrions.
"

What FSB and what divider and what memory?
Have you set a low divider
and a low multiplier and then looked for max FSB? And when you found
that MAX FSB, did you up Vcore and try to go higher?
Again, There are three reasons to OC:
Bling...then OC doesn't really matter at all.
Silence...Ha, you may want to underclock!
Performance....Ya kinda gotta know if volts (and therefore heat) is the limiting factor. Then ("
... but won't spend a ton of money chasing a number.") you can pick the WC parts that will get the job done.
Why don't you post your system specs and we'll see what we can do about an overclock. If you include the BIOS settings that get you the best OC that would be helpfull too. Oh, and loose the C&Q.
