EVGA 780i Mobo
Q9300 @ 2.5Ghz ( OC'd to 3.0Ghz)
EVGA 9800GX2 Graphics Card
Corsair 4GB XMS2 DDR2 800mhz RAM
These are the culprits that compose my rig. I am relatively new at OC'ing, as evidenced by my 3.0 clock. My problem however is not related to overclocking entirely. At stock processor speeds of 2.5Ghz, I post 12001 on 3dmark06. With an OC to 2.87Ghz, I post 13178, and with my current OC I post 13997. I have looked at many other forums out there and I have seen people with similar rigs benching nearly 16 or 17k with a similar OC. I have never posted on a forum before in my life, but I have read many articles that were extremely well written and informative on here before, and I am hoping that I can get some help as well. Thank you!!
