What is this - a bragging contest or some fun with real live systems.
There was never any rule regarding overclocking Solar. In fact quite the opposite. We push our systems, hit the limit then push them some more whether that be overclocking the GPU, CPU, Ram or even Windows optimizations. Use everything to your advantage, that's what benchmarking is about!
Indeed it does, Paul.
My latest "hobby" is live game streaming on Twitch.tv. With the old Core 2 Quad, playing Borderlands 2 and running OBS (Open Broadcast Software) and Chrome (stream monitor) the CPU usage never dropped below about 95%.
With the 5960X running all of the above mentioned apps (plus a couple more), the CPU usage never goes above 30% and stays closer to 20%. It really is a beast
