Mine was more than substantial, and I haven't even pushed it to the limit yet.

You're just a lucky guy that be able to get your hand on a very good chip . Most Athlon II users i know can't do that
Some guy are able to overclock i5 4670k @ 4.7GHz with 1.2Vcore (1.3GHz OCed) . Does that mean Intel i5 4670k is extremely good at overclocking ? No , not even close . Most people are only able to bump it up to 4.2GHz stable ( or 4.3-> 4.4GHz though i do not recommend to do that)
This is explained in the forum by @NaturalViolence . So i leave it to him if he bother to explain it to you
Jumped to a bit of a conclusion there, sorry, hadn't let the breakfast kick in yet.
