    Is your processor Running slower than you think it should be ? Or at a different multiplier than it should be ?

    I have now also run a SiSoft Sandra Lite 2016.SP1 'Processor Arithmetic Benchmark' as well (at 4.5Ghz) and as you can see, the results are pretty terrible: http://imgur.com/a/4SqK8 Bear in mind, the Red bar is the run I completed, while the blue bar is a stock 4790K (check the info on the left...

    Is your processor Running slower than you think it should be ? Or at a different multiplier than it should be ?

    Hey guys, Not sure if anyone out there has this CPU, I just recently procured one from a friend. Everything's working well however after fiddling around a bit, I've noticed a strange issue. After playing around with some Overclocking, I was keen to see how my 'new' CPU compared to others on...

    Serious Laptop Performance Problems with Windows 7 RC

    Hey PhreePhly, Don't recall seeing that setting anywhere but I know the mem issue I am having is definately related to the specific laptop I have as I have found others with the exact same issue. Not sure why yours worked 100%, ah well at least I got it working. Had a look at that site and...

    Serious Laptop Performance Problems with Windows 7 RC

    Hi PhreePhly, I thought it did however the BIOS limits the system to 3.2Gb :-( The LG website mentioned that the S1 did support 'up to 4Gb Ram' however I have a feeling they were talking about the slightly newer model than the one I had (had a different mobo, with no ATI video) however this...

    Serious Laptop Performance Problems with Windows 7 RC

    Hey MadRat, Thanks for the response but this is definately not a heat related issue. I'm looking at my temps currently and the CPU is sitting at 54c which is perfectly fine for a laptop. I've seen it reach into the high 60's on a hot day during 100% load. Have you tried the RC version on...

    Serious Laptop Performance Problems with Windows 7 RC

    I started using the Win7 beta (x86) just after it became available at the beginning of the year and was quite impressed how my laptop seemed a lot more responsive (in comparison to Vista). I can?t say the same thing about the RC release though; I now have a really serious performance issue which...

    P35-DS3L NorthBridge temp too hot?

    Not sure what the ambient room temp is but if I had to guess I would say around 20c so similar to yours hclarkjr. Also, since your FSB is clocked quite a bit lower than mine (333Mhz vs. 400Mhz) your temps would naturally be lower. I haven't checked what the temps are at default FSB clocks but...

    P35-DS3L NorthBridge temp too hot?

    Hi guys, I've been an avid reader of Anandtech for many years (about 8 I think) but have never posted anything in the forums until now. My PC's specs e8400 OC'd (Prime95 stable after 10 hours) 9x400 = 3.6GHz 1.325 (stock voltage) 2x2Gb Transcend DDR2-800 (5-5-5-16) XFX 8800GTS 320Mb...
