Hey guys,

I'm an AMD fanboy and own a AMD 9950 BE 125 watts. I had a Gigatbyte 790gp- DS4H board but decided to upgrade to SLI by purchasing the M4N82 980a board.

I dont have my second 280GTX yet, but I was hoping that with my new board, I was hoping to achieve higher 3dmark 06 cpu scores.

Instead I got about 60 points lower with the same frequency, HT link, Vcore and Memory timings.

I'm going to test out the stability of my computer, maybe flash bios, but is there any other suggestions to help achieve higher cpu scores?
Heat is not an issue, my computer idles at around 35, and is about 54 degrees during full load

My frequency is 3.3 ghz
Multiplier is at 16.5
Vcore at 1.42 volts

*Edit* Ive also notice that my vcore in CPU-Z only reads 1.040 volts with occasional jumps to 1.396 volts. CPU-Z was never wrong about my voltage before,but ever since I installed my new motherboard,its been doing that.

"For those who are into overclocking, ASUS provides an alternative in BIOS called Load-Line calibration or CPU voltage Damper option. With Load-Line calibration (or "CPU voltage Damper”" ) enabled, this load line slope will be modified to keep voltage stable.

**Please take extra caution when changing the default setting. The system may need better cooling system to work in stable condition when "Load-Line Calibration" is enabled."
