I had three 3960x chips pass through my hands and only one does 5Ghz with decent voltage (about 1.44-1.46v). Another needed 1.52v and the other 1.55v...and neither were completely stable long term at those voltages. I would get a few random crashes here or there I think were heat related. Not all do 5Ghz easy peezy.
