    Thanks, biggiebody! :thumb:

    BTW, if possible, please retest your processor at stock speed, with Turbo Boost disabled of course. Thanks! :)

    Yeah, for some reason, the CPU-Z portion doesn't load properly sometimes.

    Thanks for the results! :thumb:
     
  6. That was my result at stock speed. Here it is at 4.8GHz overclock:

    Did you overclock that? Or was it running at 2.3 GHz?
     
  11. I´m getting strange results

    Now, this is weird. The run 4 got lower results compared to the other 3 and even though the first pass it´s normal compared to other benchmarks that I saw on the internet, the second pass is below the 23-26 fps that I saw on all other benchmarks using the sandy bridge processor. Perhaps someone could help me on this? Thanks!

    Yeah, I was about to mention that. That is very, very odd. Please make sure you disable Turbo Boost before you run this test. Also, make sure you don't have anything running in the background.
     
  13. I can´t disable turbo boost

    Hello again,
    I can´t disable turbo boost. There´s no such option on the BIOS.
    It´s a new formatted pc with nothing installed. I have no idea why this is happening. Sometimes the run 4 is ok and sometimes it get slower with no reason. When I´ve used CPU-Z and Turbo Boost monitor, I´ve notice that turbo boost it´s not being activated and the clock stucks at 1795.
    Any advice on this? It seens that the software it´s not using the processor as it should and I know this is not a problem with the software because a lot of people are getting higher benchmarks.
    Thanks!

    Hmm.. You formatted it using your own copy of Windows 7, or was Windows 7 already pre-installed?

    If it's the former, then you may have missed some drivers. Check the Device Manager to see if any device has an exclamation mark which would denote some malfunction or a missing driver.

    If it's the latter, then it will most likely come with a coterie of mini applications running in the background. I would try disabling as many of them as possible before running the benchmark.
