Average Overclock (CPU) Capabilities

[vK 3 1 RON]

I'm just wondering what the average 5820K overclocking ability is, because I managed to get 4.5Ghz stable and 4.6Ghz semi-stable @ 1.25V and I was wondering if this was the norm? I am planning to go up to 1.3V the next time I get to my PC (tomorrow) and try higher. I just wanted to know if I have an average/below-average/above-average CPU?

I'd say that's above average. My damn 5820K needs 1.35v to be stable at 4.4 GHz, granted it's a pretty dirty OC and I set that voltage in haste.

By the way I'm using a Dark Rock Pro 3. <3

well the overclocking ability will always vary even if it is the same cpu

I know... I.E. Why I asked if I had a good chip, because it's all about that silicon lottery.

I'd say so, stable at 4.5 ghz at 1.25 vcore is pretty good
