RE3Frankie Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hello. I tried ocing my e7300 today to 3.5GHz and ran into a problem when I finished running 3dmark vantage because I saw the score was actually 100 points less than on stnadard clocks. Can anyone help me with this. I just bought a new MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Did you restart in between runs? Vantage always gives the best score with its 1st run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RE3Frankie Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah I had to to set the oc in BIOS. I have a feeling this one will go away, but I don't want to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hmmm. Do you have a score breakdown from before and after? Where were you losing points? Total score will scale very very slowly with a dual-core. Its unlikely to make-or-break your score but thats not a reason to not help ya if we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchZowner Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 We need more information. Which preset did you run ? The performance preset ? How much did you OC your CPU ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterStoba Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 This might make sense, it might not, but from my personal experience with 3dmark, you will get your GPU to a certain overclock, and if you up the core any more your score will decrease unless you raise the memory speed too, same with the CPU i guess, you either need to up it some more to overcome this or raise your GPU to compensate. More isn't always better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RE3Frankie Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ok. Thanks guys. I was losing points in the physx test you know the second one with the planes crashing. Anyway on standard clocks I was getting 100 points in that and up to 3.5 from 2.66 it dropped down to 60 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchZowner Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 That sounds like an unstable overclock. nearly 1GHz higher clock and less performance indicates that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RE3Frankie Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yeah maybe e7300 is a jerkoff or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchZowner Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Shouldn't as long as you don't motivate it to be a jerk if you keep it cool and fed with the appropriate voltage and BIOS settings it should be fine and play along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RE3Frankie Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 change of pace.. new Q9400 will have same probs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchZowner Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Every CPU will have performance issues if it's unstable or throttling due to high voltage or temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RE3Frankie Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Shouldn't as long as you don't motivate it to be a jerk if you keep it cool and fed with the appropriate voltage and BIOS settings it should be fine and play along. Never mind - I just installed a Q9400 Quad Core and now my score is 1600 points up on default clocks. CPU scores better than E7300 at 4.0. First Q9400 OC successful at set 3.5GHz 1.33V. Benched successfully no point loss. E7300 now at bottom of junkpile and expelled into outer-space at 6.25(GHz)per/hour Edited December 7, 2009 by RE3Frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
