BLCK / FSB / QPI is your working bus speed.
wait, LOL failure of a liquid cooling... nasty, resit your liquid cooler and correctly apply the thermal paste evenly AND as thin as possible. i`ve seen air cooling do better imho XD whats your ambient temperature?
at least it booted imho.

It's around 50c while playing crysis, it only reaches 70+ when running 8 instances of folding@home which runs the CPU and GPU to full load.
I turned down the clocks a little, seems to make a big difference with temperature with slight changes.
At 3.8 it runs at 69 and at 4.2 it runs at 77
kitamesume:
then 4.0 should do fine, hell for a 6core thats still insane.

lol @ you buying a Corsair H70 when the Thermalright Silver Arrow outperforms it and is more quiet.
Protip: All watercooling kits blow. Unless it's contains pretty much all the same components as you would in a full custom kit; Sidewinder Computers sells them I think.

So air cooling is actually better? I was assuming that the stock heatsink fan was really bad.
What's safe temps for GPU and CPU then, 80-90 is bad or okay?
kitamesume:
CPU 80c
GPU 100c
these are borderline safe-dangerous.
CPU 75c
GPU 90c
these are your aimed max during a 100% full load, lower is better though.
no, your water kit is fine, though they're saying that it's worth is overly exaggerated, building a water kit from scratch is the way to go water cooling.
