Welcome,
Probably not. If you can't get the fsb over 146 then its probably the cpu and not your system but you will need to make sure its not your system (memory or another component) stopping you from going higher.
Increasing the cpu voltage alot of times can help you get a higher overclock but also creates more heat so you need make sure your temps are reasonable before even raising the voltage.
