My Spec is as folows;

E6750 2.66Ghz Dual Core OC'd to 445/8
Freezer 7 Pro Cooler
Asus P5K Motherboard
2gb Corsair XMS2 6400 800mhz RAM
2gb OCZ 6400 800mhz RAM (Will be in by the end of the week)
Thermaltake ToughPower 750w
Seagate 500GB SATA Hard Drive
EVGA 8800GTS 640MB O/C'd to 650/950
ASUS D/L SATA DVD/RW

Case is an Akasa Mirage.

My Pc idles currently at around just under 38'c and under load usually around 48-50'c, I have a good alluminium Mirage case with two 12cm nexus fans and the CPU cooler.

I challenge myself all the time to beat my current 3DMark06 score, and am fast runnign out of ideas, last night i cracked the 11k mark, with 11178.

And i want more power! Is there any more tweaks i can do to boost up my score?

is that a good score for my spec?

thanks!!

What's your vcore, and which software are you using to read the temps?

samboduo · 6 Oct 2007 at 10:59

using coretemp to read temps.

vcore, is that the core voltage?

Cob · 6 Oct 2007 at 11:00

Yip it's the CPU voltage.

Take all voltages off auto if overclocking.

samboduo · 6 Oct 2007 at 14:02

thanks for the help

Auto usually over-volts.

Find out what the vcore currently is in Windows (CPU-Z v1.41 and PCWizard will tell you) and then add maybe 0.025-0.04v to it and set the BIOS to that (eg- if CPU-Z says 1.45v then Auto is probably set closer to 1.5v in BIOS due to vdroop).
