Hello guys. Just a quick question. Built my pc and ran 3dmark06. Currently getting a score of 6700 to 7000.
My rig is
Pentium 4 651 3.4ghz (when @ 4.2ghz its give me 3dmark06 score of 7000)
2gb DDR2 Dual Channel 533Mhz 2x1gb
2x320gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 in Raid
8800GTX 768Mb BFG.
eVGA motherboard.
Is this score what you would expect.
When the pc is totally @ stock Im getting around 5800.
Seems a tiny bit low considering my 7900 GTO gave me around the same.
What I think i happening is my processor is throttling back. I have a 9700 Aero cooler on atm but one corner of the holder is loose. (lost screw
)
Therefore it is not getting the full pressure on it.
cheers
