Well, that's what the silicone lottery is after all. Doesn't mean another 10600k won't be better than your sample. I personally see no pint in OCed cpus in this day and age at all. More headache, hardly any performance improvement, more cost. Getting high enough clocked memory at this stage is all you need.
Looking at my 8700K and what came after that in non-K's, I can only agree with this.
Zen is no different either. The only reason for an OC capable system is tweakability. Undervolts, etc.
GPUs have been that way for nearly half a decade now. I believe the 980ti was the last one that really hit above expectations in OC results. Pascal was so tight after that with GPU Boost, and binning was already not much of a differentiator.
