Show Us Your WEI (2)

[Dave76]

- how come?
- does that 2hr. wait allow Win7's background services, TRIM, etc; time to complete the task..?

Yes, that is it exactly, this is recommended by manufacturers and many SSD sites.

Hey Dave - did what you said, left it sitting at logon for 2 hours..

- now that is amazing..!!


- it's been bothering me for some time
- thanks ever so, for the tip - rep on the way..

- I'm also getting withdrawal symptoms, by the way..
- 2 hours, phew..!!

Glad it helped.

LOL, it can be difficult at the wrong time...

Have you been running benchmarks or lots of non-compressible files?

The OCZs will throttle down when hit with large loads too fast.

Do you let it sit at login for a couple of hours at least once a week?
This will supposedly let the drive clear all the garbage.

Wow Dave, I did not know this I have always been courious about how Trim works can't wait to give it a try. Anyways here my current score....Nothing overclocked.

Like us, it needs a little quality down time once in a while

Nice scores.
As mentioned by Britton30, a little OC on the RAM and you should get a bump on the score.

Hi Kellymac35, I suspect if you overclock your RAM, you'd help that score out.
Check with your Mushkin for info on that, too many variables for me to quote settings. with an i7 you maybe can get a 7.7.

If your at stock clocks, and want 1600 mem speed, set mem multaplier to 2:12, Uncore to 24X DimV to 1.65. should get you a 7.8, My mushkin will yeild a 7.9 at 1648, 6,7,6,24,88. If you want a little CPU boost, Try 160 clocks, with a 2:10 memory setting 20X uncore, DimV at 1.65, and everything else in auto, If you git a BSOD 101 add a little Vcore, and if you get a BSOD 124 add a little Vtt. Note Use real temp, or E-Leet ( EVGA ) to check core temps.

Nice OC

Good OC steps.

Like that SSD score.

Great scores and good move to oc the ram.

Anyone got a fix/workaround for the 4gb with WEI score of 5.9 limit?

I have an i3-550 processor on an H55N mb with a 5670 video card, but my system shows I have dedicated memory assigned anyway and makes my score go 5.9

I read somewhere you can disable integrated video in BIOS, but mine is Use PEG First, then next option is use Integrated If No PEG.

How can I get my lost memory back and my 7.0+ WEI score back?
-=Mark=-
ps. I have my 4gb ddr3-1600 running at ddr3-1750 currently. it's my only score under 7.0

I have 4 gb of ram and mine is 6.3, nothing special on mine.

I didn't know there was a 5.9 WEI 4GB limit on Win 7 X64 for RAM Memory. In fact I have seen some people on here with 4GB and pass the 5.9, Perhaps it would be worth checking your motherboard specs to see if it is fully compatible with 1600Mhz RAM Modules, failing this check your bios and see what speeds your RAM is actually running at, some motherboard BIOS offer various modes for under/overclocking, perhaps your RAM is being limited by a simple setting.
p.s I just had a look and if this is your board (Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 SKT-1156 MINI-ITX Motherboard

) then this what it states as RAM Memory Specs
Support for DDR3 1666 (O.C.)/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
With it stating 1666Mhz O/C this may infer that your RAM is throttled down, I think than it can overclock slower memory up to 1666Mhz but not sure if your 1600MHz modules will get full effect. I think it means that you could overclock 1333Mhz RAM up to 1666MHz. I could be totally wrong but checking what speed your RAM is actually set to in your BIOS would confirm this.

Low primary hard disk score, help?

Can anyone help me figure this out? I just got my new MSI Gt680R laptop but the hard disk speed is slow why is this?? And how can I speed it up??

That's not slow for a traditional hard disk....it's normal. To get much faster you'd need to replace it with a solid state drive (SSD).

Ok. I was just confused because I noticed that someone else with the exact specs as me got a 7+ for hard disk speed. And reading other reviews of this laptop the scores were also higher as well. I'm not knowledgable enough though to know why...

 

[sapphirebabe]

These are my specs:

CPU 2.0GHz i7-2630QM
Operating System MS Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
RAM 8GB RAM Upgradable to 16GB
Hard Drive Size 1 TB
Hard Drive Speed 7,200rpm
Hard Drive Type SATA Dual Drive
Display Size 15.6
Native Resolution 1920x1080
Optical Drive DVD SuperMultiDrive
Optical Drive Speed 8X
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 460M
Video Memory1.5GB

The other person almost definitely has a small SSD which has the OS on it....and then if they do have a 7,200RPM spinner like you, it is for the data only.

So then the only way to speed it up is to get an SSD? Sorry I'm such a noob.

I don't think it's possible to get over a 6.0 without an SSD. That said, your computer looks like it should be a nice running unit.....so I wouldn't fret much over that one WEI score.

I've joked about people having "WEI envy" before......worrying more about how their specs compare to others' than how well the machine actually runs.

That is a good point there buddy.

Since I built my current machine back In end of October 2010, my RAM was downclocked by my motherboard to 1066MHz with 8-8-8-20 timings. So, yesterday, I asked over at the Gigabyte forum how should I run my RAM at default factory settings. So, after setting the Uncore at 20x, the Memory Multiplier to 10x, the DRAM Timing Selectable (SPD) to Expert and manually input all the timing for all 3 stick (set to 9-9-9-24)... I re-ran my WEI

OLD :

NEW :

Yep, the result is that my RAM gained a .2 in WEI XD Now, to see if it will be stable. If it isn't, I'll just revert everything.

*goes over and change his System Specs*

 

[robbymcnob]

Thats my new wei after the sli install

 

[Iainn]

Just thought I would share my new build, mostly because I was quite surprised by the increase. My old system was a Core 2 Duo E6750, with 4gig RAM and an MSI mobo. The previous score was 6.1 - 6.4 - 7.3 - 7.3 - 7.1. My new system is in my sig, but the difference in the motherboard alone really shows. My HD went from being a 7.1 up to a 7.6 (thanks to my old mobo pre-dating AHCI mode) and the graphics card gaining 0.1. I'm actually very surprised that a ~2 year old graphics card still put in a 7.4 performance...

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I don't have any of those options on my Gigabyte mini-ITX motherboard.

to others, the 4gb claims was being under 4gb ram auto gives you a 5.9 score, just like a traditional hard drives only give a 5.9 score. Unfortunately I still have a tiny bit reserved for my integrated video that isn't being used. at least I assume that is the case as it used to say it. I did chose pci-e as my primary display, but it still seems to reserve a small amount anyway.
