    I finally figured the ram out, now all except the cpu that still scores 7.5,my scores are almost all 7.9, just need to up the cpu and then eureka 7.9!!
    I would not obsess on the cpu score... not even 5GHz i7's do 7.9.

    Just remember, the WEI is just numbers. Don't worry about them

    Interesting, I didn't know that, what about those sandy bridge cpu's? And yeah since I don't know @#$% about overclocking a cpu, I will stick with the 7.5 base scores.

    At 4.7GHz my 2500k only put up 7.7. Jeepman tried at 5.somethingGHz and only got a 7.8.

    Very difficult to get a 7.9 for the CPU, need 6-8 cores and liquid N2 cooling to OC that high, it has been done.

    This is probably the best marketing strategy ever thought up, the CPU manufacturers are really benefiting from this thing called WEI.

    The fastest CPU with the best water cooling can't get past 7.8.

    You could add SSD drive manufacturers who are raking in the dough as well :)

    Anyway my WEI score is 7.6 due to my 7.6 processor score - which is a Core i7-950 overclocked to 3.84GHz.

    I don't worry about the score though as I'm happy with my system and understand the intent of WEI.

    Yeah,like everyone said I know the wei scores are just a marketing scheme, but it seems that many people fall for it,and YES I am one of them . But I am glad I posted the scores, I honestly didn't know the cpu's couldn't score that high without cooling and so on. Glad I know now. Thanx all.
