I'd guess your chip will require way over 1.5 V for those clocks, maybe even close to 1.6 V. My old QX6850 wouldn't do 4.0 with any settings or voltages stable for gaming... I was on air though. And my old QX6800 G0 could run 3DMark06 through with 1.58 V at 10x400.
Give it more juice since you are on water. In the long run, too much VCore might hurt your chip though.
