I've been doing some passmark tests at 1600 MHz and not much gain from going from 1600/2400 ram/NB , respectively when compared to 1600/2000.

Should I downclock my ram to 1333? What NB and ram settings will I actually see passmark / gaming gains. What are the best settings I should do?

My phenom is at 3.9Ghz with 1.392 volts on my new gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 with CnC and C1e off. LLC set to very high so voltages are nice and steady.

Temps are 50-55 load during day testing when it's hottest in my room - 80F

update

I've also tested at 1333 speed with nb at 2000 and just a fraction worse than 1600 at either 2000 or 2400

2400 ~= 2000 > 1333

what should I do? anything I can do to get a better performance gain?

passmark cpu - 4675

passmark RAM - 1250

those any good for my settings?

Thanks. Although, I can only up in .025 increments

Also, everything I see says leave HT at 2000, is it actually a performance gain?
