Overclocking vs Undervolting

Has anyone else ever come across a CPU that undervolts like a champ but hits a MAJOR wall overclocking? My 2600k stays rock solid at stupid low vid (I've gotten it as low as 1.0v @ 4.0ghz), but I -CAN NOT- get the bastard stable over 4.7ghz, regardless of voltage. Tested and confirmed in a friend's Maximus IV. Just for the record, his is the exact opposite. He got lucky and scored a part that'll sit rock solid at 5ghz for days on end, but has to be fed a constant 1.45v.

We're both using the same cooler (phanteks behemoth), and both testing with ambient +/- 2 degrees. What gives?
