you can put more volt on it, 1.5v is safe for your cpu

You should get at least 3.9ghz stable (with a little tweaking of course)

Put the voltages up to 1.5V.
I tried having the multiplier at 14 and fsb at 1066mhz with the voltage at 1.45v, but it was very unstable.

I'll try upping the fsb at a 14x multiplier, but I don't think that my memory is very stable for some reason.
I tried to overclock the memory and only ended up with BSOD's all over the place.

hmm... when I had the 780i I remember it was a terrible vdrop, try to set the volt in bios to 1.53 or something, try to get as close to 1.5v in cpu-z as possible. That should give you something to go at!

How about the temps?

I think temps and my memory are holding me back.
I'm going to try using some screws to mount the radiator and pump for ****s and giggles.
Also will test out the bends to make sure things are going to work like they should.

Tubing seals watertight without clamps, so I have to be careful about doing anything as it might not come off.

if you tell me your temps it would be easier to tell if they are holding you back

Hey, on the first page you had an alluminum passive res, there might be a little problem with that and your copper block.

Just a heads up!

Kudos goes to you!

I'm sure that I wouldn't have too many issues, but I'd rather be on the safe side than learn the hard way.

I will most likely revise and use this instead:

EK-Multioption RES 250 Rev 2

This reservoir will be just fine for my purposes and actually may be better with the various holes that it has for G1/4" fittings.
