I was only able to achieve a stable 4.8 GHz on my 2600k (with custom water cooling at that), but was rock solid at 4.8 GHz even when running stress tests for days at a time. I did get it up to 5.0 GHz, but it'd blue screen after just a few minutes. lol

Mine did like 4.3GHz on air, couldn't cool it with the voltage needed to go faster.

Watercooled it in 2018, got as high as 4.95GHz but wasn't willing to use any more voltage to go faster.

Ended up degrading it over ~6 months, now it won't do over 4.8GHz.

Probably should have just settled on 4.8GHz, as that required way less voltage.
