Yes but why ? One is always idle...even when gaming or benchmarking.

Thats a massive drama queen moment, while i agree o/c the cpu will get you a better score in say vantage it's not a lot and fps in games less so. I did a bench with i7 stock and i7 4.4 somewhere on here ages ago there was defo a increase in benching but "massive bottleneck"
His Phenom II at stock is like you running your i7 at 2GHZ.

Try going into your bios in boot up and check your pci frequency
Try setting it to 101, save settings, reboot then retry your benchmarks

That's plenty fine.
Makes no sense...graphics card 1 is showing at 849MHz, graphics card 2 (not connected to monitor) is showing at 157MHz.
CPUZ validator says the same. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1553426

Doesn't sound anything wrong imo.
Furmark benchmark blows.
And in 3DM06 he's CPU limited a lot (I've had a 4.4 1055T with a single 5870 beating a 4.15 5870 Xfire)

As others have said, ignore 3dmark06. It is useless as a modern benchmark as a cpu overclock gives more points than an entirely new graphics card!

The Formula is 16/X/16 or 16/8/8 or 16/16/X
