Do you have 4x4? The more ram you have, the harder it is to get a good OC.

Dont lower the voltages if its unstable above 4.6, means you hit the ceiling at your current voltage. Try bumping the voltage up a little and see if it boots, unless your using too much voltage already or the the heat is too much during a stablity test.

I heard 4.8Ghz Is about the Limit of Core i5 2500K with Airflow cooling i know peopel can reach 5.4ghz with core i7 2600k but i don't know if weither there cooling rig worth in fan / Radiator / Waterpump / Probabely around 300$ :P

You can get a good starting kit for around 100 =P.

i have a coolit eco A.L.C so cooling shouldnt be a problem

and sorry to deceive you Topic Creator but what i know about Coolit ECO A.L.C Is i was Told many time it suck in Cooling Effifancy (Bad Airflow) but it Very Quiet & Low Weight that it only strong point

The Cool ECO A.L.C http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/coolit_eco/4.htm in this review it can't even beat Noctua NH-U12P which was also beaten easily by buying a 30$ cooler such as it the Scyth Mugen II Rev B.but you have to add 2x 120mm fan at around 90CFM to see it shine and perhap even a hyper212+ with two fan setup's push/pull would also come close in performances

anyhow if you got 4.8Ghz Stable with a Low Quality Watercooling solution such as is CoolIT ECO A.L.C you can stay with that 4.8Ghz Still good

but if you wanted Excellent CPU Watercooling Easy to install & affordable : Corsair H70 is the solution

But ur perhap better with a High Quality airflow Setup such as Thermaltake Frio's or Thermalright Archon :

O no, I am not talking about those closed circuit kits.

A perfectly good starting kit for cooling the cpu which can be later added to for perhaps gpu or etc.
