Is this any good? Whats the weak link here? I'd like to upgrade timings ont he memory, but it keeps failing memory tests so I think its pretty much crap.
The only things I changed was cpu, the drop at 3.53 is puzzling me.
Did you have to loosen memory timings as you were overclocking? That would explain it. But it could just be bad luck. The score can vary as much as 200 points and with the CPU having almost no effect, A drop of less than a hundred points shouldn't be that unusual.
sorry for the late reply, but no I haven't played with the memory timings, I recently installed the 71.84 WHQL driver and jumped up to 5208 with all hardware at default so not real worried about benchies. All games are running sweet, currently giving Battlefield Vietnam a thrashing at max settings, no hiccups, = happy camper :)
I'll post my scores soon I hope, I tried running 3DMark05 with the comp in my sig and it shutdown because the CPU reached 70C ....so I am rebuilding the whole computer to reduce temps.
