3DMark06 benchmark

[Keir]

I gotta say I love this e4500, I put the vcore up to 1.375 and got another 200mhz out of it, and my idle temps didn't go up a degree.

if My fan on my arctic 7 spins slow, ( like 900 rpm ) it goes up 1 degree. I know there is a video of someone runnning this processor without a heatsink on Youtbue, but I didnt think it'd be like this.
I'm trying to hit 3.5

But I've got sooooooo many tweaking options in my bios I go crazy. When reviewers have no idea what half your bios settings do, it tends to get confusing.

Just for a test though I dropped my PCI-E bandwith to 8x. my 3dmark score didnt change a bit.

OMG PCI-E 2.0.... we dont even use all of Pci-e 1.0 yet.

I think your right, the cele must be bottlenecking the cards, cause you should have gotten a higher score then that, I would think.

I hit a wall on my Q6600 at 2.95, @ 1313 FSB. If I push pass that, crash.

[3.0charlie]

What do you mean it crashes? My 1st Quad runs at 3.2 GHz (400MHz FSB), while my second one runs at 3.7 Ghz (463MHz FSB).

[Cptn Vortex]

Yeah with my quad at 2.8GHZ, and the 2 cards SLI I pull over 16000. I recently took one card out, and put it in a machine I have which is a Maximus Formula SE, Q6600 @ 3.6GHZ 4GB RAM and 2x500GB RAID0, and scored slightly over 14000.

with me clocked at 3.0Ghz.. i did 11115

stock clocks on the GPU

[Keir]

Wow, I'm starting to feel better.
I guess my Budget build isn't fairing so bad in comparison.

I'd just like to know why do some peoples sm2.0/3.0 seem to be similar, where me and say YY have 2000 point spread.

If I enable Xfire ( obviously put another card in ) my Sm2.0 goes up by 400 points, my 3.0 goes up 2200?? Seems really really odd.

[zlojack]

Wow... I just popped in my 3870x2 and

Here's mine:Q6600 3.56ghz formula maximus 0903 2gigs crucial 8500 2 3870's

[belgolas]

well I got 10840 with stock GPU and overclocked Q6600 @ 3.42 GHZ. If I overclock my GPU I can get close to 12000 points.
