89.2273 GFlops / 4.50063 GHz = 19.83

P.S. Hope I also don't get banned for posting in this thread. I don't know if this is worth any consolation but I will be switching back to R3E for comparison shortly.
Good result! All results close to 20GFLOPS/GHz mean that rig is highly optimized. Above 20 is very hard. I'll try above 20 with 4.6GHz when the temps get lower.

Have you tried pushing UnCore/RAM to ~4/2GHz?

It would be great to see another comparison between OC & R3E!
