It's a funny thing, but it seems that My AMD Athlon 64 X2 Black edition shows WEI of 6.2 @ Stock 3.2GHz but when I clock it to 3.298GHz it scores 6.3. I think that there is 0.1 available WEI score on Dual cores. It seems a little more on Quad Cores.
I'd be interested to hear what results others have had when O'Cing CPU and how WEI scores the tune up.
Just built this system. I'm a little dissapointed with the hard drive score as it's letting down the whole score. However I've got a feeling that one of the drives is failing as my windows installation on that drive is very slow, and sometimes grinds to a halt completely (and this happened after a new install). My windows installaton on a different drive is as fast as lightning, so I suspect a failing drive is giving me a bad score.
Hello W7 Forums, this is my first post.
My workstation consists of a SuperMicro X8DTH, 2x Intel Xeon X5677, 12GB DDR3, 5x OCZ Vertex 2 SSDs in RAID-0, and a single eVGA 480GTX. It is used for video editing.
I get 7.8s on all benches except the disk transfer rate. I OC'd the 480GTX to 900+ and the 7.8 won't move. Could it be the PCIe interface of the MB being only x8? I am planning on upgrading to a 580GTX, but have seen others get 7.9s on a 480GTX.
Also, I have not tried OCing the Xeons. I'm not certain softfsb will work. I installed Intel Turbo Boost software, and during the benchmarks, the Turbo utility doesn't hit the 3.73GHz max speed of the Xeons.
Thanks for any advice.
Welcome to Seven Forums brainiac, that is quite a nice system you've got there
Are you getting that hardware in the PI?
Odd Job,
Excellent scores sans the drive which we know will get sorted out in time, sweet rig !Just built this system. I'm a little dissapointed with the hard drive score as it's letting down the whole score. However I've got a feeling that one of the drives is failing as my windows installation on that drive is very slow, and sometimes grinds to a halt completely (and this happened after a new install).

@Dave76: Thanks. Not in the PI, but in OC, CA. I hope to be expat-ing myself back to PI though... [I decided to put up the flag because I feel the RP doesn't get enough tech recognition is deserves...]
Well, I decided to switch from the SuperMicro board to an Asus Z8PE-D12X which has a x16 slot. I might be able to put that in tonight.
