Has anyone managed to push this build past 4.5G?
My current configuration is:
ASRock oc formula 3.0usb
Intel i7 5960x @4.5G
Corsair LPX 32gb @ 2400MHz
Corsair h105i CPU cooler
Corsair AX1500i PSU
2 x gigabyte r9 fury x
2 x Samsung 950 pro 512gb
2tb Samsung 850 pro
6tb wd black
28' Asus pb287q @ 4k
I’m trying to reach 4.8 or 4.9 and stable at 4.5G, but I’m curious—anyone had success above 4.5G?

4.5 is a solid outcome for that chip. The focus mainly lies on the silicone lottery, both during and before that process. While it's feasible to achieve other 5960x results at 4.9, it remains every chip's own achievement after 4.0.
