im using crucial ballistix ram. 2gb right now, another 2gb on the way. VID should be in the CPUz pic?
CPUz only shows your voltage. Use CoreTemp to get your VID.
EDIT: And 1.5V is a little high, Intel says 1.45V is max.

Once you get your cooling issues worked out do the following to get your desired clock...
As CrazeD said, the formula is FSB * Mulitplier. But the actual FSB in the BIOS is also 4x higher. So for instance...take your desired speed (4000 Mhz) and divide that by your multiplier (in my case 9). That will give you 444 Mhz. Then multiply that by 4 to get the setting you enter into the BIOS (1777 Mhz, actual FSB). So: DESIRED OC / MULTI * 4
Man I would say start from square one on you WC. Really take your time and plot out the paths that the water will be taking. Remember you want to keep the bulk of your water away from any heat with plenty of air circulation. Pump to CPU... CPU to RAD... RAD to Res....Res to Chiller or another RAD.... Back to pump again.
Oh, right. I'm an AMD guy... my bad.
Intel chips overclock with multipliers and bus increasements. AMD does the same thing, except they don't handle bus increases as great as Intel chips which handle absurd increasements to the FSB.
Loop order really makes no appreciable difference in overall performance as the temperature in the loop hits equilibrium after about an hour and temps vary by as little as 1-2 degree throughout.
True, true, but for the over all temp and workload on pump its good. You just want all the fluid to be able to shed as much heat as possible before returning to the CPU or what ever it is that you are cooling.
Dude if you want to get to 4G you really need to consider that you may need to chill your water somehow.
People may recommend that you set up the loop in all kinds of different orders, but they are generally incorrect.
Order doesn't matter!: http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...d.php?t=177218
Because the water temperature is fairly even throughout the loop, order isn't important. The rule of thumb is to set things up to minimize the number of sharp bends and the total length of tubing. Avoid 90-degree elbows whenever possible! They kill flow and make the pump work harder.
