Trouble overclocking 5930k

Lilrex

I am currently in the process of OC'ing my 5930k on an MSI x99 SLI PLUS motherboard and can't seem to get any higher than 4.5-4.6 GHz. I feel like I should be getting more but I could very well be wrong. I am using an H110 liquid cooler and my last stable run was 4.6 GHz at 1.237V

 

If anyone has any suggestions on what i should disable or turn to manual mode that would be helpful. I am lost when looking at this boards BIOS now.

Thats already high for the i7-5930k. But yeah with an ASUS Board you could have gone PROPABLY higher due the fact of their extra pins on the socket.

I apologize I am not really an overclocker community person I have done it a few times but not extensively. If you have any site or place where I can learn aobut overclocking in better detail it would be greatly appreciated. I supposed I expected more because I got my i5 upto 4.3GHz and I was hoping more for a 4.8 out of an high end i7. :-(
