Hello, long time reader 1st time post...
So I am stumped with something. I recently did a new build and my WEI memory score seems rather low.... 5.9....CPU score is 7.2 which seems normal so I am not sure what I am missing here... Maybe someone can help

Intel i3-2120 @ 3.396mhz BLCK set at 102.9
Kingston 4gb DDR3 @ 1,372mhz 8-8-8-22 timings 1.62v http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104221
Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Motherboard
Kingston v100 64gb SSD
 
The WEI tests the cpu , hdd , ram and video card and the lowest reporting part is your WEI , I don't know why they do it that way but it is and I would think that they would take all the scores and average them but they don't. The WEI is the lowest score of the parts tested. What do you have for a video card ?

all other WEI scores are high. ATI 5770 gpu
CPU = 7.2
RAM = 5.9
GPU1 = 7.5
GPU2 = 7.5
HD = 6.9

Also I have tried 1600mhz and i get the same score. I went back to 1333 but used much tighter timings. Still 5.9 RAM score....

ok figured it out. Looks like I still had Intel built in graphics still enabled in bios. Turned it off and now getting 7.5 WEI. I knew something had to be wrong.... Now to get started on some ram overclocking!
