Latest little update.

Ordered another SATA round cable to match the others and also a SSD caddy.

SSD fitted into the Coolermaster quick release tray.

All fitted.

Still to come, awaiting the immanent delivery from Holland of my windowed sidepanel.

stulid · 9 Jun 2011 at 14:26

Disable the onboard GPU, then re-run it, Windows only gives a max of that when there is less than 3.5GB, the onboard GPU will take 1GB of your 4GB.

It will then score 7.7ish, you can then re-enable the GPU and ignore the windows experience index for what it is, useless.

My ram only scores 5.9. so is the onboard GPU on my board still taking 1GB ? even though i have a 5870 plugged in ? :S

Im on 1.4 at the mo, 1.7 isnt on the official website yet, and thats the only place I will look.

Did it score 7+ in the end?

Is it a Z68/H67 board? or the AMD in your sig?

infernox · 9 Jun 2011 at 16:10

the AMD in my sig.

Then it should disable the onboard GPU (if it has onboard?) and you should be scoring 7+

My AMD system used a 790GX chipset and that got 7.5 from stock speed 4GB RAM.

infernox · 9 Jun 2011 at 16:17

Yeah its odd,

Processor: 7.6
RAM: 5.9
Graphics: 7.1
3d: 7.1
HDD: 7.4

Just had a look and onboard is disabled though. so mind=boggled .

stulid · 9 Jun 2011 at 16:20

Check the speed of the ram, can you download CPU-Z and get some screen shots up of the memory tab etc.

infernox · 9 Jun 2011 at 16:30

paradisiac · 9 Jun 2011 at 16:31

Yep, 669.7*2 = 1339.4MHZ, so thats ok, timings are ok, 4GB of RAM is recognized and the RAM is in dual channel.

How about a screen shot of the CPU section? under load if cool n quiet is enabled?

P.S, whats in the anna folder?
