I did fine tune my system for the benchmark, but a baseline linux setup was still in the low 20Ks.
Not much excuse to use Windows any more when the better option is Linux.

Unfortunately there is an ocean of Windoze stuff I still need to run, so still pay Bill for his crappy OS.
I see what you mean with regard to Linux: the Pixinsight benchmark community has a 3970X running running LinuxOS at a whopping 43,847
