Need help OCing TR 2970WX

[Zyleyus]

I've got custom watercooling for my system, the CPU block is Corsair Hydro XC7 (kinda small, will it be better if I change to a full coverage EK one?)

It goes to 4.0 with the "Load 4.0GHz OC preset" thing in BIOS, but it can't go to 4.1 even if I boost to 1.45V, don't dare boosting that higher.

 

I also have a issue with OCing my RAM, Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 16GBx4 3200Mhz, sometimes the PC won't boot with the "safe 3200 preset", which is 3200Mhz, CL14, 1.4V. I've also heard that a 4000MHz Trident Z Royal can go up to 5G, so how far can mine go?

is really depends on the power delivery of your mobo and the  silicon of your cpu so it could be more or less not the best silicon

and again it really depends on your cpu's memory controller if its really good or not but the vengence  from corsair isnt the most high end of cpu's and the trident z is a Samsung b die one that will absolutely perform better but is wayyyy more expensive so you decide
