dinos, CW without maxmem actually helps and quite a bit
don't think Hicookie's eff is possible without CW, this is BY FAR (sub2150k vs 2200k+) the best 6.1ghz+ GT efficency ever seen
George, you could have bent one of memory slots (trying to keep it 2mm further away from the cpu) like I did on mine - solder quality on these boards is crappy in some places
5mins in the oven should fix your issue
1175 7-8-7 (tRRD/tRTP/tWTP/tWTR(same rank) = 4/4/20/18) and 940 6-6-5 (2/2/18/16) gets almost exactly the same score for me (around 8:49.1), changing tRP from 7 to 6 gained me good 1.5 seconds
