What does it take to hit 7.9 on cpu? 3970X?

7.8 is the highest you can get for the CPU (7.9 for everything else) on Win 7.

Nothing that I know of. Even an OC'd 3970X won't hit 7.9. The $3000 Xeon CPU won't hit a 7.9 either. 7.8 is all you can do on the CPU

Great numbers chromatica18. That's really the top score. LNG and an 8 core might bang more, but is a pipe dream only. A Guy

Oh I see. I was about to start pushing for 5ghz+ too.

Don't let that stop you.......we're all enablers here

[Dude]

he is almost there already

 

[chromatica18]

Nah I've already tried. It's not stable with 1.5v, and I'm too scared to go any higher.
My old 2500k would do 5ghz at 1.46v.

Yeah, but be sure have some excellent cooling.

Wooo hooo . Adjusted the memory speed to what it was suppose to be .. Gained .1 .. woo hoo

Still disappointed with this as the RAM is belting 2133

You wanted better then a 7.9?

Changes to RAM only changes the RAM score. Mine is running at only a non-overclocked 1600MHz and is also 7.9. 7.9 is the most you can get in Win 7 for everything except CPU (unless you Photoshop the WEI image); that's only 7.8. Your GPU and, to a lesser degree, your processor are what are holding you back right now.

Umm thought I might have got the in betweeny 7.6 not that it makes much difference to me as the old girl well I say old - an Ivy bridge is pretty slow anyhow:huh:

Hmm Kady f I thought an i5 3570K and a GTX 650 were no slouches but like I said in my last post the WEI means not a great deal to me as long as the thing goes is ok

That's the correct way to look at it. The WEI score is most useful to check for performance degradation and get a clue where the problem might lie. As long as the machine does what you want it to do, then then the WEI score doesn't matter as long as it doesn't go down over time. Otherwise, the WEI is just for bragging purposes.

My notebook has something like a 5.9, as I recall (and, at my age, don't bet on my recollection), mostly because of the light duty GPU, the single HDD (recently upgraded to an SSHD; I haven't bothered to check the WEI since then), and the little i3 CPU in it, and I'm happy with its performance. Even with the new SSHD, I doubt the WEI score went up much and don't really care.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Hmm my main laptop runs an i5 430 and 8GB and is really really quick now I have the 8 upgrade on board and I just use it like 7 to all intents and purposes. Whether the 8 helps I don't know but I do know it powers up in the blink of an eye and shuts down even quicker.

The sad thing about that score is you don't get the breakdown so you can see which component is pulling the score. Aside from the score, does the machine meet your needs? If so, don't worry about the score.

Probably your graphics I should hazard a guess. It's only a figure anyway.
