Default pc underperforming?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but i have other computer problems now. Mainly under performing.





pitiful... base result is 1000 and i'm not even half..

Yes all voltages have been left to AUTO except for DRAM which is now at 1.9v.. i had it at 1.8v but 3dvantage crashed on me so i upped it




At first i thought this problem was the E8400 CPU , so i sent it into intel and they sent me back a new one BNIB, same problem.

I am using two ramkits to do this testing, both ocz and i get same timings each. I havent ran memtest overnight though, i am planning to.

I also thought it might be the 4870x2 drawing too much power , so i switched to 4550 however i get the same wprime 32m at 60s and superpi at 23sec scores.

My last two ideas are to either try new memory of a different brand or perhaps it is a mobo problem
