One thing though, did you use the same mobo w/ same bios for the tests? I assume it was the Asus Crosshair V? What happens if you put the Thuban in a Crosshair IV w/ Thuban optimised bios, the difference could be even more.

Oh that 3d mark06 result really shocked me btw!
On 0051 this board loses about 15 seconds in 32M with Thuban @ 4.5, and BIOSes after that were more BD optimized... so lets just call that a 3.5% hit.

The difference in score is pretty rediculous. I assume Thuban is losing score in wPrime + Cinebench as well, if it's less or more than 3.5% I don't know but 3.5% is the equivilent of 150 Mhz loss in efficiency at 4.5.
