- GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6.

- 4GB Transcend DDR2-667 @ 900MHz 5:5:5:15

- Sparkle NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 @ 600MHz GPU / 1.8GHz RAM.

That means you are running the VGA drivers.

"I see dead hardware."

I've made two changes: added (and underclocked) RAM, and a video card change.

I'm held back by my Northwood-C; however, it's three years dead.

So what am I doing right that the griping Athlon64 owners are doing wrong?

What the hell? my 3.0 ghz HT p4 gets a 4.2 also, these ratings are about useless.

Well my original was posted earlier on in this thread, but since then, I've ocerclcoked my CPU from 3.0Ghz (which gave a 5.4 rating) to 3.45Ghz, which has upped it to 5.7....YAY.... :D

I've just bought a new HDD to add to my setup, which I'm going to setup in RAID 0, so this should get my disk performance up to the max. 5.9.

Then with a little more tweaking I think I can get more out of my CPU again.....I'm almost getting it stable at 5.6Ghz, just got to tweak some RAM settings and it'll be there, so this should get my CPU up tot he MAX 5.9 as well.

For a MAX 5.9 Overall System Rating...!!!!

Watch this space..... ;)

I just finished building my first PC and it was easier than I thought. Pretty satisfied with my results with no OCing as of yet.

5.6 as of now. Was at 5.2 because I had my RAM set in single channel mode. I'm sure I can get it to 5.8-5.9 but I'm still learning the ins and outs of my mobo.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
    • CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
