5ghz+ chip for sure right there! you also have a bit of thermal headroom too.

Wow, that's a fantastic overclock. It's been a while since I saw an Ivy hitting 5Ghz.

Why, did people stop trying?

Ivy's seem real easy to overclock so its just down to luck, if ya get good silicone ya get a good OC, although im sur hte experienced overclockers can get a little more out of each chip by tweaking settings a little.

Recent Ivys seem to be hitting much better clocks now, maybe they've improved process or TIM?

I guess that if you spend some time finding tweaks for you system, things might improve...
