Score is calculated within the first 1.5s of the bench. Sooooo set your clocks, open bench run 1.5s then flick slow mode switch. I prefer slow mode switch because it will down clock your CPU speed and your Cache speed to x8 multi. Will take 2-3 minutes to finish the bench, I usually go sweep or do chores till I hear the fans going full speed again (they will spin down a little under load). Now you know what most of the pros know about XTU. 6.1ghz garbage 1m chip can run 5.82ghz 4c8t using this method. Your chips should not get as much strain as well using this method, there is very little heat at 1ghz I dont even pour while its running, just when I need to turn slow mode off and get screenshot. Enjoy the level playing field!
