After hours of trying, I got my 5930k to 4.3mhz/1.322v with 73c max when stress testing. Should I go for more? Or this enough?

I would not go any higher on the voltage. This is a pretty good result

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

I wouldn't. 73c at most is actually where I like to sit at under load for 12 hours +.

I tried going to 4.5/1.365v with OCCT stress test but I was getting crashes and a 83c temp.

Sure you don't mean GHz mate?

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Looks like most people won't get 4.5 or higher. Extra cores = higher temp :(

What are you cooling with?

tjmax is 105 degrees, so if you wanna see how high you can go (not 24/7) you still have some room. 

AnandTech got their 5960x to 4.6 at 1.4V on their first chip, but only 4.3 on the second one.
