5950x clock speed question

[Smackaroy]

i have a question about my 5950x's clock speed to see if i got unlucky or not.

 

so my 5950x has a maximum clock speed of 5.06GHz (since then it's gone down to a max of 5ghz not sure why probably bios updates and a unclean windows install) but only a couple cores can get to that speed with the rest varying from 4.9 to 4.72. i have seen some 5950x's get up to 5.15 and the rest of their cores being able to reach 5ghz are they extremely lucky or did i just get unlucky?

It heavily depends on cooling and depends on the tweaking and tuning you do in BIOS.

i've seen some1 get unlucky and cap out on 5.05/4.9 after alot of tuning even on a dark hero, but the variance is within 100mhz, 5.15 is the very top end.
