You have to OC the cores of the 3870x2 separately.

Something's still fishy here

We both have a few things in common:

Q6600 (mine at 3.15)
P35 mobo
4GB Ballistix (mine is running 4-4-4-12 2T 700MHz 1:1 right now)

I can pull roughly 15,000 at my settings without touching card clocks at all.

i think its your cpu score, you should be getting near 5800. Either you didn't enable all the cores on your cpu or a core is busted/defective either that or you have to much crap running in the background hogging the cpu resources.
