Access Denied Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) I did a little google'n of the settings in my bios and tweaked the score a bit. I had my cpu score even higher, but my wireless pci card would not connect with it oc'd, lol.EDIT: ORIGINAL SCORE WAS 3.4 Edited March 4, 2009 by Access Denied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's no bad gain indeed, but can't you set your PCI/PCI-E speed to 33/100MHz in the BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm not sure. I'll reboot and see. That could be what was keeping it from even booting when i oc'd it. I'll post back in a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I am currently over clocked to 3.45 and was able to set the pci/agp bus to 33 while doing so. Re ran the assessment and it took my ram to 4.6 (4.5 before) as the only change. System does feel a tad snappier. I'll have to use it for a bit and check the temps. anything under 60 is ok, right?EDIT: running stable at 3.45, temps are 40-43 idle and 56-63 on a full load for 5 min, topped out after 2 min or so. I think its safe to run. Edited March 5, 2009 by Access Denied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Fully stable at 3.51 now and really seeing a chitty video card in this rig, lmao! Edited March 6, 2009 by Access Denied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I just ran my WEI and scored a 3.1. Thats pretty good considering I am using onboard video and have 2 ATA133 HDDs in this system. Oh, this is my home PC. I will have to run this at work and see what it says. Interesting that WEI on scores the primary HDD, which is probably why I got such a high score.

John305 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hi well I have win 7 64 bit ultimate running on a amd 3200 + socket 754 2 gig ram 6600 gt and main boot drive is a sata 1 100 gig Maxtor very old. And get a 4.1 CPU is lowest even that old hard drive gets a 5.4. Video is 4.9 4.3. The old Maxtor can’t be changed to not use write caching. It runs fine I’m going to try it on my gaming pc next it runs vista 64 bit and has 2 velociraptors in raid but I hear any mechanical drive in win 7 only will hit 5.9 or so. So how can a old 100 gig Maxtor get 5.4 running in sata 1 mode. I see sata 2 drives that get lower. I think this scoring is out of wack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It would appear that WEI only tests the HDD that Windows is on, not all drives. Windows is on an 80GB Western Digital SATA drive.Here is my work computer's score: 5.5CPU: 5.8RAM: 5.8Graphics: 5.9Gaming Graphics: 5.5HDD: 5.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipk487 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Just got the 4 gigs of ram the other day. Im stuck at 3.0 cuz i cant adjust the processor voltage on my board. solid state drive is the next thing on my wish list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Whole new rig. Well, the case, psu and hard drives are the same. Q9650 quad @ 3.0 ghz, 4GB ddr2 and 9800GTX+ on RAID 0 now. Edited April 29, 2010 by Access Denied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 @ DJB,If you have an AMD chipset and you like to speed up your PC, install the AMD chipset drivers and set ACHI in the BIOS, could be a new install but your score will go up, say 7.1 to 7.3 for the HDD. NoteI didn't test if I could switch between SATA (IDE) and ACHI without problems without re-installing Windows...Whole new rig. Well, the case, psu and hard drives are the same. Q9650 quad @ 3.0 ghz, 4GB ddr2 and 9800GTX+ on RAID 0 now. That's just a small upgrade . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
