Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Welcome to the club. Some chips can only do about 3Ghz.
You can try pumping 1.5v++ volts in to it, to what you get, but its probably just the limit of your chip. Not all chips do 3.2-3.6Ghz like people rant & rave are guaranteed. I'd say 3.2Ghz is the average, but its varies + or - 300Mhz so 2.9-3.5Ghz is the range. You just happen to be in the bottom of the range
I can't get mine over 3Ghz reliably either. Tried everything. More voltage, all kinds of things. Its not the FSB/ motherboard or ram b/c I can run 9x334, 8x375 or 7x430 easily. (all = 3Ghz)
at 3Ghz it needs 1.375v to be stable
after that its almost stable at 3.1Ghz at 1.45v
It just needs way too much voltage to get over 3Ghz.
So I've settled for 3Ghz.

Hopefully (crossing fingers) with the F8 bios coming out, we can OC with a little less voltage 
Merf... alright.. I'm concidering getting a new mobo hopefully in january.. if I can afford it..
Oh well, I'm *content* with 3.1GHz give or take a bit... but yeah, when I get my ram in, I'm in the process of RMA'ng it now, so hopefully I'll be able to get 3.2

I doubt it the motherboard.
Its probably the chip!!

FWIW, I seemed to get a little better OC on my E6600 out of a 975X P5W DH board than I did on my 965 Gigabyte DS3 I used to have. I would run 3.0-3.2Ghz at 1.375V on a DS3 and I can run 3.2-3.4 on the P5W DH. Not sure if it's just the board or maybe I got better contact with my HSF when I swapped out the boards.

my DS3 will hit 473Mhz @ 6x multiplier with the F7 bios. After that its locks at 474. I can boot at 473 and its stable, so its kind of weird how it dies instantly at 474. And the ram will run at 1Ghz at 333FSB with 3x mutliplier, so I don't think its the ram dying at 948, unless the 1:1 is a lot more stressful.
Or like I said I can also run at
9x333 = 3Ghz (cpu max = 3Ghz)
8x375 = 3Ghz
7x430 = 3Ghz
6x473 = 2.84Ghz (FSB max)
