Windows Experience Index

Hey guys,

Does the Windows Experience Index actually mean anything?

It rates my processor at 6.7 @ 4.7Ghz and 6.7 @ 5Ghz. If 5Ghz isnt 6.9 what is?

Pretty annoying when my RAM is rated at 6.8 when all I did to that is buy it for £40 and set the stock timings, whereas several hours of tweaking have gone into getting the CPU to 5Ghz.

I appreciate any comments.

Thanks

Thanks guys, i'll ignore it.

Just realises I made a mistake, im getting 7.7 and 7.8, not 6.7 and 6.8.

Thats annoys me. 7.9 on everything apart from HDD which is 5.9

Score = 5.9.... -_-

You will have to get an SSD...

This has super annoyed me though, how do you get 7.9 @ 4.5Ghz and I only get 7.7 @ 5Ghz?

How have you not already tried to get 5Ghz?

So perhaps it is something link this:

2500k stock = 7.5
2500k light overclock = 7.6
2500k heavy overclock = 7.7

2600k / 2700k = 7.8 (overclock irrelevant)

Hyperthreading obviously really counts for something with the WEI test.
