I gotta say, CPU frequency isn't everything. Those 5.18ghz runs had underclocked CPUNB and lower clocked RAM with loose timings. From what I have seen, CPUNB helps with memory a little bit and it'll help with rendering.
Also, ignore that 5.6. That's what happens when you run Cinebench R11.5 in a Windows 7 install that came from an i7 920. I was pretty disappointed when I saw those results, lol. It was the first benchmark I did with my new AMD, my heart kind of sank.
I'm gonna break 9 with 24/7, I keep getting more and more performance out of this thing, I love it. Higher bus seems to help in Cinebench for some reason too instead of going for multiplier. Maybe it's the fact that my other numbers are ending up differently and better, but I don't know.
