Hmmm... that's odd it won't run at all. Try downloading it again?

Not sure what to suggest if you have updated .NET Framework.
 
Reinstalled OS (changed other hardware anyway) and now it works.

I'll go for 4.5ghz later, hopefully get past that 2500k @4.3ghz score :D I might be able to squeeze 4.6ghz outta this chip, it's an amazing clocker. Runs 4.2ghz at 1.35v daily.

I'm gonna cry if my old CPU beats the score of my new CPU. :(
 
lol. Most people underestimate the Lynnfield CPU's. 1156 was and still is a good socket. Sandy bridge was no huge upgrade at all. Most of the difference is higher daily overclockability, and less heat. But as far as clock for clock performance, not much gain at all.
 
I can tell you honestly overall I haven't noticed a big difference going from an i5 760 to the 2500K. If you want to use more than 16GB of RAM (1156 boards were limited to 16GB usually) then the newer stuff is better and if you want features such as USB 3.0, SATA 6GB/s and PCI Express 3.0 then the newer stuff is better (very few 1156 boards had USB 3.0 or SATA 6GB/s - my ASUS P7P55D-E did though). Overclocking Sand -Bridge is easier too.

Obviously you'd never use 1156 for a new build today, unless maybe you were in the second-hand market and came across a good bundle for a great price, but if you are still on 1156, I wouldn't bother upgrading unless you need any of the above.

I'll always be a fan of 1156 because the first PC I built was on 1156. Memories and stuff you know. ;)
 
Yeah my board does have USB3 and sata3, however the sata3 controller is garbage. It can't handle sata3 loads, in fact not even sata2 specs.

I had my 2 OCZ agility 3's in raid 0 on the sata3 controller, was very glitchy and only pulling 450 read/215 write speeds IN RAID 0!!! I pulled that and installed the raid array on the sata2 controller, which of course goes through the main chipset (p55 doesn't support sata3), and read speeds are 580mb/s and write speeds are 510mb/s.
When I had these drives in a Z77 board they pulled 1.1gb/s read and 950mb/s write speeds :eek:
 
Yeah, the SATA 6GB/s controller on the P7P55D-E wasn't much good either. Read and write speeds with a Crucial M4 SSD when using the Marvell 6GB/s controller on the P7P55D-E were slower than that when using the Intel Z68 6GB/s controller on my P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3.

What board are you using? IIRC, Gigabyte made one with USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s too.
 
Too many to remember. Atleast 60-70 setups in the last 3 years.

Here's an Athlon II 450, I had it kicking around and figured I'd pop it in the wife's PC to test. I really wanted to see if it would unlock, but it doesn't. Pretty decent clocker though, I beat out a stock 1055t hex core with this score-

Well the board is a cheap one, and it goes it increments of .050 increases plus I think the bus clock is near maxxed at 263. Temps only hit 52c on the multithreaded test, I'm using a stock Phenom cooler...the copper 2 heatpipe ones.

Besides, higher clocks won't yield much. 4.0ghz was 1002 points, so 200 mhz only got me 36 points. I won't even crack 1100 even if I can get 4.4 out of it.
 
Athlon II's run cool. But it's the older style Phenom cooler, they are quite good. Solid copper base with 2 heatpipes and the fan is better than the newer ones.

Alright I'll try it. Perhaps floating point will bump up to 150 and I'll crack 1100.
