I5 2500k Extreme Overclocking (Watercooled) HELP!

Hey all, I'll try and be quick with this.
I've manage to overclock my i5 2500k to 4817.5MHz (102.5 x 47) @ 1.45v (60-70°C). I REALLY want to reach 5GHz, but every time I up the multiplier to 49 for 102.5 x 49 (5022.5MHz) I BSOD after 5 minutes of windows 7 & reach temps, upward of 75°C.

Is there any workaround to fix my problem? The silicone lottery in Australia, quite frankly is totally f*cked; both my friend & I are both reach 70°C + & are having to lower the clocks.

My system:
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k | XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 (UV Blue w/ Gelid Wings)
M/B: Asus P8P67 Deluxe B3
GPU: Asus GTX560 TI
RAM: Corsair 8GB Vengeance 1600MHz CL9 (1640MHz CL8 O/C)
CASE: Corsair Obsidian 650D
PSU: Corsair HX850
SSD: OCZ Vertex II 80GB
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
OTHERS: Bitfenix Alchemy Blue Cables, Scythe Kaze Server, Asus DVDRW

My settings:
Multiplier: 47
Core Clock: 102.5
vCore: 1.450-1.475
Load Line Calibration: Extreme
CPU Allocated Current: 140% (100% stock)
VRM Frequency: 450 kHz (300 kHz Stock)
Spread Spectrum: Enabled

Why am I getting such terrible thermals? I have the processor watercooled & all; would it be the chip itself?

Whats your watercooling setup? and your ambient air temp?

Also, I don't go over 35°C @ idle.

A radiator any larger won't fit in my case... Regarding the 5GHz... E-peen my friend, E-peen.

First off drop the core clock back to 100
Disable Spread Spectrum

Your highest 1.475v for me will run 5.0ghz in Win7 64bit, I can run 5.0ghz in WinXP 32bit @ 1.465v, so there's a definite difference in required voltage for both platforms, why are you telling me this?

Basically because with your Ambient room temperature and your cooling you should at least be able to get to 5.0ghz but have no temperature leeway, simply because the cooling you have is not adequate for sustained 5.0ghz running.

It's not really going to matter if you go to a larger radiator, because even the highest performing radiator loop is not going to get you to your 5.0ghz goal simply because of the heat the Sandy Bridge produces @ 5.0ghz.

The Rasa cooling you have is a cheap starting solution and there's nothing wrong with the Rasa cooling block, the problem really is the pump that you cannot increase or decrease it's flow rate and it's inside the reservoir, great for cute and good looks inside a computer but definitely the wrong solution for overclocking your Sandy Bridge.

I'm not trying to insult you here so don't take it that way Please, I also have the same setup as you, then bought a higher performing radiator, but the Rasa pump fell short at that point because the pump is matched to the radiator, bought a new pump Swiftech MCP655 and reservoir, but the performance @ 5.0ghz only changed by 2c.

So did that solve the problem?

No!

Why?

Because to get what you're after it takes an actual 10c water temperature, do you think any pump/reservoir/radiator loop on the planet will deliver that?

To be Prime95 stable with no thermal throttling it takes 5c, and at 8c condensation begins, so you may want to rethink your goals, or prepare yourself for a total change of how you're cooling. Ryan

You can get to 5.0ghz but that's an illusion, because any load that takes you out of the thermal window automatically drops your multiplier and you're no longer running 5.0ghz, test it yourself using a temperature monitoring program like Real temp,and CPU-Z to monitor the multiplier drop.

What CPU are you running?

I thought there had to be some legitimate explanation for such a clueless statement, obviously you completely missed the fact the 2500K is the 1155 Sandy Bridge Platform not the 1366 platform, 2 completely different overclocking platforms which definitely do not behave the same.

Try reading these threads in the future, thinking your information is the same and viable for all platforms is a serious misconception on your part, which can lead to providing false information, a THGF Terms of Use violation and you don't want to cross that line.

So you can officially take this as a warning! 4ryan6
