System Builder Marathon: Overclocking

Synthetics, Continued

PC Mark 2005 shows us the approximate boost in overall system speed, CPU speed, and memory speed we achieved from our modest overclock. The hard drive performance remains unchanged of course.

Sandra's synthetic benchmark also mirrors about the same proportionate amount of performance increase. In this case, the synthetic benchmarks do indeed demonstrate a clear picture of what our overclock has accomplished.
