RawZ Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Have a random issue with Sempron 140 & 145s in which when running the Multi-Thread test #2 I'm getting between 0-2 MPixel/s on the Image Decompression test. I've tried other motherboards and 3 other processors - same issue. Reinstalled Windows lots of times - tweaked and vanilla - same problem. However, my Text Edit score before the Image Decompression is very high. At stock 2.70GHz on the 140 I'm getting 160 pages/s which is odd as people with Semprons clocked at 4.00GHz can only get 110 pages/s. After days of testing I've realised it happens when I run the WEI score. My Text edit at stock clocks jumps from 90 to 160 but my Image Decompression drops from 14 to 1. I can't not run the WEI as I need it for the PCM suite transparent windows, but with it, it kills my Image Decompression score. Going from 1 MPixel/s to 20 (when OC'd) is an extra 2-3K on the final suite score so I can't not ignore the problem. Seems someone else suffers from the same problem I've just noticed - http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=34695 No solution given. Could it be that there is a tweak to stop this from happening, or is it that maybe the OS is adding the Image Decompression score to the Text Edit score and then some? The Text Edit score is too high for those clocks. All help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M.O.G. Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I don't run WEI, but I just enable aero for transparent windows. Don't run WEI and you should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 ^^ or just run it under vista x32 - i only had this problem in x64 os's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawZ Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Will give it a go tomorrow, thanks. Still clueless as to why it would do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawZ Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Narrowed it down in 64bit. It doesn't just happen after WEI, even without running it, if you choose the W7 Aero Theme it drops the Image Decompression to 1 MPixel/s or less. Choosing W7 Basic theme doesn't affect it but it means Transparent Windows doesn't work properly. 32bit it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M.O.G. Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I don't have that issue on my install, weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawZ Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I don't like using Vista. Transparent Windows are nice boost but it harms my HDD G.Usage scores. I get better scores with W7 (SSDs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutt Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Nice to see that I'm not alone with this. I'll try 32-bit later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutt Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Tested 32-bit today and it was a little better but still only 4.xx in Image decompression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
