Q9450 PassMark:3053. Advice?

[jimr9999us]

My PassMark appears 15+% low compared to some numbers I've seen posted for stock CPU's.

Advice? Need more info? Let me know, and thanks in advance.

My e6750 @ 3.6ghz score about what a e8500 scores at stock speeds. Check to make sure Speed Step isn't enabled. That could effect it too.

You're comparing apples to oranges. Just cuz the cpus are the same doesn't mean the score will be. The other pcs might have faster parts than yours.

Oh, and Speedstep won't effect the score cuz it will be disabled auto once the cpu is busy.
