Hey guys, my first ever submission for the LinX stable club! Also, my first time water-cooling, and first time overclocking. I'm pretty happy with my results, hope you guys are too!

I don't actually use TurboV to change settings, just to monitor them from the OS. When I first started OC'ing yesterday I changed something and hit apply, and it froze my system. About 5 mins of Google search revealed at least half a dozen other forum threads with people saying they blew up their CPU thanks to TurboV. Since then I've done it the slow way, BIOS overclocking.
The voltages in the left half of the TurboV window (not the ones in the monitor strip on the right) are what they are set to in the BIOS, The only ones I've set manually are BCLK Frequency, CPU Voltage, QPI/DRAM Core Voltage, DRAM Bus Voltage, and IOH. The rest are all on (Auto).
I got to where I am now basically by following guides and trial and error. Whenever I bump up either the multiplier or BCLK it wont boot and I don't know which voltages I need to tweak, and how much, to get it to work at 5GHz. Can anybody here who is familiar with rampage BIOSes lend me a hand?
