i3-2120 Low RAM WEI on GA-Z68AP-D3

[phantomnov13]

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. Also I've tried running the RAM at 1600mhz. I still get 5.9 on my RAM

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/Produc...82E16820104221

Do you have the RAM dimms in the same coloured slots? i.e not right next to each other

I've got them in the same colored slots, yes. CPU-z says its running in DUAL channel mode. So I'm good there.

Are you using onboard video? With only 4gb's sharing with onboard may keep score low.

Wow thanks Kenmitch. I disabled onboard video and it worked like a charm. 7.5 WEI! Even though I use an ATI 5770 as a video card it looks like I still had the build in graphics still enabled under bios. It was bringing my memory performance way down. Now to do some overclocking! wooooo

I too have i3 2120, but my windows processor index is 7.1
I guess it's because I have hyperthreading off.

I'm using integrated graphics, however my RAM memory rating is 7.2. (one channel) I also have a 9600GT 1gb in my PC, but not connected to the display. It's still recognized by the PC, so perhaps it is possible that the PC uses that 1gb on the 9600GT? A far fetched scenario, but what if?
