Hi,
Wanted to see if anybody else has had this odd occurance. My system specs are listed below for reference. I recently built this system and am having some really odd things happen with benchmarking. Currently, I only have 3DMark 06 installed to bench with. At stock settings, no oc of any kind, I get around 9000 3dmarks. However, AFTER I overclock my cpu to 3.4 ghz I am getting much much lower 3dmarks (around 3000). This is really throwing me for a trip. Could it be memory timing? Although I haven't really changed any of my timing. I've used cpu test and its at 5 5 5 15. My memory is running dual channel. So, any other reasons why my system would bench a lot worse when overclocked?
CPU: Core2duo 6400
Memory: 2GB 800mhz
Video: Foxxcon GeForce 8800 GTS 640bm
Video Driver: 100.65
OS: Windows Vista 32bit
