I built the system in my sig about a month ago. I was able to get to a little over 3GHz without any trouble. In order to see if it was worth it to go further, I started running the trial version of PCMark05 with different OC settings (set through uGuru) to see how much I was gaining by pushing further (FSB changed, but nothing else). Here is what I found:
Run 1: FSB at 322 (2.9GHz), PCMark score 8189
Run 2: FSB at 302 (2.7GHz), PCMark score 8235
Run 3: FSB at 280 (2.5GHz), PCMark score 8413
Higher scores are better, so what's up with this??? If I believe the results, I am better off with stock settings. What am I missing here?
