Overclocked Core 2 Extreme

[mystikmedia]

Everything has been finalized now, and they're shipping my system tomorrow. Here's how it ended up:

Processor: QX6700 (2.66 GHz)
Overclocked: 3.3 GHz (1200 MHz FSB) with 900 MHz memory at CAS 4-4-4-12.

As you all may have gathered from my previous posts , I'm new to overclocking, and have not been watching the benchmarking scores until recently. Are the below numbers what I should be getting with this? Thanks much in advance.


3DMark05 : 17440
3DMark06 : 12065
PCMark05 : 9394

What video card? 3DMark is heavily GPU dependent.

BFG Tech GeForce 8800 GTX

I do not know what resolution was used for that test. So, probably not as good to go by as the processor.

Let me let you know, those scores are in the realm of astronomical. Makes me want to finally order a QX6700. Nothing wrong with your scores. With a little bit of tweaking, it might get even higher. But this isn't the Forumz for that. You'll have to go to the video card section for that help.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post. I appreciate it.

In the meantime since I posted, someone else told me the PCMark05 score was just normal. Was your comment more towards the 3DMark scores or do you disagree?

Towards the 3D Mark score when comparing it against my OCed X6800.

Aha. Thanks again for the information and feedback.
