Should i send my CPU back to overclockers I7 High L3 Cache Latency

Well LOL at that :P

i still after doing loads of testing cant get the L3 cache down, its still massivly high

im also running my memory blades at 1600, 7.7.7.18 rest default, and it doesnt make a diffrence at all to the l3 cache...

puzzleing though im trying to get exclusive help from rjkoneill but as soon as he posts he vanishes LOL

I cant for the life of me figure it out...

if u send it back expect the shop to test it at its stock speed and when it passes it will be sent right back at you along with a testing fee and delivery cost.
cpu is not at fault here, the user is.
 
Send it back? It's just a benchmark... you've probably hit some obscure error in the program.

If the rig is working OK, you need to spend less time testing it and more time using it :D

Quoted for truth.

Set back to stock, see if it behaves. If it does (as you've already indicated), we have a Layer 8 issue.
 
OK i think i figured out the problem.

i dont think its the cpu anymore i think its my memory.. for some reason when i benched the memory bandwith in sandra its very low.

for 21x200 the bandwith should be sky rocketing but its just under what stock would get..
how to you up the bandwith ??????

as you can see do these memory scores look normal ? i even upped the bclk and droped the multi but my bandwith scores dont seem right for the speed do they ?

i have no idea if there normal or not as i don't fixate on benching. buuuuuuuut, just for you ive bumped my clock to 4.2 just to have a look & give you some kinda comparison.

OK that is freakingly scary.

Ok i guess the bandwith is fine :) its on par with yours.

but i still have no idea why i have a High L3 cache.

I just for the peice of mind returned my system to default, got into windows and run the test.

and it showed my L3 cache at 50ns WTF

im determined to find out why this is becuse its started to really tick me off.
i think the cpu`s L3 cache is dodgy.
 
OK here is my finaly result and OMG i still have no idea what i changed to fix it :)
thank god my cpu is working LOL
