1. did the CPU ran at full 100% in both cases? Memory should have matching speeds too.

2. you can check the real net clock speeds with TMonitor from cpuid.com (freebie).

Thanks to Turbo Boost Technology, clock speeds are dynamic and temp dependant. So if your 3200-setup actually ran at 3400, and your 3500 setup could make 3600, then that's just a 5% diff. Or: overclocking requires over-cooling to get the real benefits out. Although your 52C is quite low, actually. PhenomX6 is quite nice.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
