Question for essenbe are you overclocked on your system cause your score of 25k is awesome!
What's your memory assessment speed?

Yes, I'm @4.0. But Sandy Bridge overclocks different than any other system I've been on. You don't OC the FSB just the multiplier. But remember, I'm running faster ram than you. My ram isn't overclocked.
The only thing you are really overclocking is the turbo.

@essenbe - Yep I follow what you are saying. Your ram indeed is clocked higher than mine. I am happy with my ram because of its very low voltage usage, its CAS times etc etc. I don't intend on changing anything...just intend to find possible options in the BIOS that are not set up right. Once I figure all that out, then a light overclock will be done. I am going to turn off the Turbo option in the processor anyway.

I think I would too with your system. I had an AMD system overclocked and turned off The turbo on it. With an OC, turbo would probably make it BSOD or something worse.

Hmmm, not sure I agree about turning off turbo, especially for a small overclock. If you want to do a major overclock, you need to turn it off, as it will clock too high when turbo kicks in. But I have a change of BCLK from 133MHz stock, to 160MHz only. This allows my CPU to idle at x9, and kick up to x21 when needed. This saves a ton of power, lowers temps, and gives me an "on demand" overclock. I have all speedstep, C1E and EIST enabled. A Guy

Thanks A Guy. Good to know. I will try it out whenever I get home or something and post updates.

Is this right?
Does my winsat score look right to you guys? It seems a bit low for DDR3 judging by some of the other figures. I know its only 1333Mhz but still. Anything I can do to improve the performance?
Many thanks,
garcia.
