You should have a higher score if its quad.

 

mine is at 7.3 but recently jumped to 7.4 do to some overclocking at 4ghz.

 

but right now i'm idling around 3.5ghz on amd phenom2 quad, becuase of the heat we've been having here, safer then sorry i say.

depends on the day really, thanks to turbov from asus.

 

its strange how 1 extra number can make a difference, from 3 ghz it was at 7.2, at 3.5ghz it was at 7.3, now its at 4ghz and its at 7.4.

 

just for this demonstration i oc'ed back to 4ghz

 

here is a screenshot, see what i mean.

 

 

 

for some odd reason my video and graphics wen't down i mark.

 

its fun being able to oc on the fly.

How do some of you get above 5.9 ? Like others have said...when I click on the index thing to view what its about, 5.9 is the max. But I hear some people checking thiers and they are alllowed over 5.9...according to the site 5.9 is as high as it goes for some of us.

I just noticed the layout of your page is different too, I have more buttons and the text is different locations, different text....odd.

5.9 is the old index of vista. Windows 7 allows higher values up to...7.9

Check here : Wikipedia

 

Indeed Thor, it makes a significant difference when you use new drivers.

As running nothing in the background. That increased my cpu for 0.1 ...

Seems a bit pointless with that limit, how hard can it be for them to update the thing?
