When conditions are just right, it can reach 4.8 GHz, that's the upper limit. No one offers assurances about overclocking. Your chip might not even handle 5 GHz—it's up to you to discover its limits. As for what Comet Lake can do, I'm pretty uncertain.
It seems your old i5 3550 was running smoothly at 3.7GHz right out of the box (starting from 3.3GHz), even though it was on a different system and chipset.
Calibration of the load line fine-tunes how quickly voltages drop under load, influencing various performance aspects. Begin with a moderate setting rather than the highest, and since your initial voltage was quite high (around 1.36V+), aim for a medium LLC configuration. Avoid overly aggressive settings. For detailed overclocking tips—especially on a Gigabyte board without clear guidance—check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ-1WSvN4aQ. A 3600 CL18 setup is a good starting point, and tweaking to 3600 CL17 or slightly higher (like 3733 CL18) could boost performance modestly with a small RAM voltage increase.
appearantly there's a chance for a really bad bin for a 10600k https://siliconlottery.com/collections/c.../10600k50g only 23% hits 5.0, and thats with an avx offset https://siliconlottery.com/collections/c.../10600k51g without an avx offset ur aiming for a top 8% chip start at 4.7
