Need assistance finding the limit of my 4770k(temps not a factor)

I recently bought this kit for my EK waterblock:
https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-supremacy-precisemount-add-on-naked-ivy
My cpu was already delidded a few years ago so I thought why not.

Temps before “naked mount”:

After:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9CyJiyzx3DlMmhkTFl2UnJoNFU

It's been really fun to overclock the last few days but I seem to have hit a bit of a wall on 4.9ghz / 1.44v. It's quite stable but not enough for 24/7/365.
Some documentation I’ve done:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9CyJiyzx3DlZ2w1M2xXQmg4S2s

I’ve been running “eventual CPU input Voltage” at 2.01 before on my other overclocks. But now I seem to run into instability no matter what, input 2.3v, vcore 1.55v, doesn’t matter after starting occt it fails after 10 seconds to 2-3 minutes. 4.8ghz / 1.4v vcore / 2.1v input seems good and ran between 4 and 5 hours occt stress test before it failed, probably needs a little bumb on voltage, haven't had the time to test more yet. It boots to 5ghz but can’t really do anything other than screenshot it. So my goal would be 4.9.

I’m a little uncomfortable increasing my input voltage above 2.1v. But if it dies, whatever, it will suck but I got money saved up for a new pc parts (cpu/Mobo/ram). Not sure if anyone has anything to say about where the limit is with the input voltage?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stats from my previous overclocks on this cpu:
(Input voltage : 2.01v 😞
4.4ghz / 1.18vcore / 4.4ghz ring/ 1.2v adaptive ring
4.5ghz/ 1.26vcore / 4.5ghz ring / 1.3v adaptive ring
4.7ghz/ 1.38vcore / 4.5ghz ring / 1.3v adaptive ring

(Input voltage : 2.1v):
4.8ghz / 1.4vcore / Auto ring / Auto ring voltage (stable)
4.9ghz/ 1.44vcore/ Auto ring / Auto ring voltage (unstable, kinda ok for daily use tho (5h of linpack was fine))

(Input voltage: 2-2.3v)
4.9ghz/ 1.4-1.5v. (anything above or below 1.44 makes it more unstable:S)

(C states / turbo / EIST / spread spectrum / and a bunch of other things disabled to eliminate instabilities when I’m overclocking.Vcore on manual. Most other voltages and settings on auto)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m not that patient with reading forums so if anyone has any ideas for previous experience I’d LOVE(!) if you could help me out. (probably get a lot of these “stupid” questions/ posts)

(I suppose you need some of my bios information may be, I can add that to the google drive, but what, my overclocking profile on a file or something like that?)

4770k
Asus z87 gene
16gig 1600mhz cl8 ram
Corsair AX860i PSU
3x 140mm rad with custom watercooling on the cpu (420 blaze it)

It looks good great from here, is your projector 1080p resolution?

Yep it's 1080 dlp with a led lamp from LG. I hate warm stuff since I don't have AC for the summer. It was the only one that wasn't 3-400 watt. It's rated to a 100 watt. But when I measure it with the settings I use its between 25 and 50 watt from the wall.
And besides the lamp is rated for 30k hours, not 2-10k
My head is around 3m /9 ft from the screen. I picked 90" since that was within the THX standard. I only need to lower the picture now so it's within 15 degrees of my eye sight to the flat screen in the vertical if you would look at it from the side. Like if looked in front from the side wall where my window is between the screen and chair. It was my first attempt at mounting something like this so..

When I'm watching the projector screen.
Excuse the state of the floor, I never got around to laying the wood floor. May be this summer. And there is dust

That is totally awesome, I love it !

I'd like to talk more but I'm getting tired so I'm going to sign off and go to bed, it's 4:05 am here on the east coast in the u.s.

Maybe catch you tomorrow or sometime and let me know if you get the kryonaut and those nanoxia fans.

Good Night !

I never consult professionals -_-, but it turned out good, it's like 90% there.
Better than I feared, just shy of perfect.
I'f it wasn't for that damn fan. It's probably a server size one. Can't hear it with sound on, but in transitions between scenes
Might open it if I can and see if there is any hope of replacing it with something more human friendly

I guess it's work then, can't sleep.
It should be just on the edge of where 1080p still looks sharp. Like I don't feel like I lost any detail vs 47" 1080p at 2m-6 ft. Rather made all the details in the scenes more aparant.
There is noise in the picture cause its dark and its from my phone, looks better irl.
