October 12, 201510 yr Crew lo all, we just completed a two day OC event at the Firstlook event. In 3dmark 06 we noticed that our CPU test on the Maximus VIII was less than the one from the MSI Team. Both setups running Windows 7 64bit. On air 4500/4500 gave 9500ish on the ASUS board with 0201/0007 bios and 10000 points on the TE XPower. We needed to up the core speed on the ASUS to 4700Mhz to get the same 10000 points... we tried other biosses, settings, 3 different Win7 OSses (all 64 bit though) the CPU score output at 4500/4500 remained around 9500-9600ish. On LN2 we could not breach 13K CPU score at 6100Mhz. Looking at some results I spot similar stuff on the bot. What you can do to verify our findings and if you have the spare time. Is it possible to test the 3Dmark 06 CPU test at 4500MHz CPU speed and 4500 uncore in on a Win7 OS plz. ASRock users also plz chime in! Greetz
October 12, 201510 yr wow daaaaaaamn, will have to test mine EDIT: Only Strat seems to have a proper score with Asus: http://img.hwbot.org/u27054/image_id_1499721.png Edited October 12, 201510 yr by FireKillerGR
October 12, 201510 yr Author Crew If what we saw is right we need 150-200mhz more on the ASUS to get the same CPU score... I just recalled I kept the prefetchers enabled in the bios... Edited October 12, 201510 yr by Leeghoofd
October 12, 201510 yr Crew prefetch for programs enabled, no teaking, 4,5-4,5 3733c15 mem gave me 9570-9640 at three runs - hero 0040 BIOS win7x64 ultimate Edited October 12, 201510 yr by websmile
October 13, 201510 yr Can you try the following on the ASUS and MSI board: 1) open 3dmark06 2) select cpu test 1 3) assign 1 thread to 3dmark06 via task manager 4) run cpu test for 3 seconds, then escape 5) enable all threads for 3dmark06 6) run benchmark Check the CPU score
October 13, 201510 yr 9494 on Z170X-UD5 Going to try Massman's suggestion and see if it works here. Edit: 9467 after Massman's post. No dice here Memory isn't very tight at 3000 15-17-17, if that could affect it. Edited October 13, 201510 yr by xxbassplayerxx
October 13, 201510 yr Only on Win 7 or XP as well? Which version of TurboV Core are you using? Anything before 1.0.0.37 causes performance issues even after uninstall, at least in XTU not sure if other benchmarks are affected as well.

October 13, 201510 yr Crew You both use XP, which is different from win7x64 whith wich the problem was occuring Edited October 13, 201510 yr by websmile fail
October 13, 201510 yr Maybe some MSI users can also test to confirm they do get around 10k cpu score. For the 10k score all I did was enable LN2 Extreme mode in the BIOS, set mp to 45/45 and go.
October 17, 201510 yr Crew msi, i get 9550 with 45 / 45 100.00 blck. 3200 12-15-15 memory. i get 9650 with 45 / 45 100.30 blck (this is default if you just put 45 45 in bios and boot, blck oc's a little)
