Help overclocking 2700K

I can boot up with 4.6, 4.7, 4.8Ghz (haven't tried above that), and I have actually played games and stuff on the unstable version of my RAM with 4.6Ghz a week ago. If I remember correctly, at 4.7Ghz, the PC freezes on the standard IBT test on 1.33 vCore (LLC 5) almost immediately. I mean I know that it definitely won't be stable, but here's the thing, I have run a Q9650 OC'ed to 4Ghz, unstable for pretty much a year, without any BSOD's, even thought it couldn't even pass the standard IBT test, but was able to hold on Prime95 for a bit 
Btw, what is the 'wc loop' which you have mentioned, Bluntwrapped? At 1.34 vCore (LLC 5 giving 1.38/1.39) my Tcase has gone up to 71C, after about 5 minutes. As soon as I saw it hit 71C, I stopped the tests.

Are you setting the voltage manually or are you using offset mode? I know you have LLC enabled but how are you controlling your voltage? I found it easier to start off manually finding out what's stable, then switch to offset mode and aim for the voltage I tested. That Asus link further up the page is really helpful and worth the read.
Watercooling loop. My brain sort of hurts.. keep with it do plenty of reading and it'll all make perfect sense soon.
