I love my new P5Q-E, so easy to overclock, unlike my P5NT-Deluxe. I was hoping for a better score, so wiwazevedo is safe for the moment with 20000+. I dont want to risk overclocking my cpu anymore, as im still on air cooling (thermaltake V1). Plus i dont trust the temps im being given (max 53C).

I just ran my first 3dmark06 with my new pc and i hope i did everything right. Correct me if i have done something wrong. The CPU and the GPU are not overclocked - just stock for now. I'm planning on overclocking in future.
CPU - i7 920
GPU - ati radeon 5870
Doesnt look right to me
5870 with only 17k?
Your i7 920 is only running at 1.6ghz lmao

What can i do about that? Everything is at stock no overclocking. Also when i ran the test on the CPU-z it was showing 2.8ghz not 1.6ghz... i'm new at this any help will be appreciated.
3dmark06 is VERY dependent on CPU clock speed. With the CPU at stock clocks, thats whats hurting the score most.
Disable intel speedstep technology in the BIOS, thats whats dropping the multiplier when the CPU doesn't have load on it to save energy.

I would not disable it, the processor still runs at full speed when needed, but with Speedstep enabled it will keep the processor cooler and reduce power consumption.
Thanksi like the new format better, i'm more towards the top on teh list

Thanks
87dtna thanks for explaining that. I though i might did something wrong to have those scores. For now i'll keep it with the speedstep on.
Omega thanks also for clearing few things i was confused on the speedstep.
No problem.
Not at all, 17k is a really good score with the CPU at stock clock speed. People don't realize how much 06' is CPU clock speed dependent. With 4ghz your score would probably be more like 24k or so.

That would be really nice. If i had my cpu overclocked to lets say from your example at 4ghz and i overclock the card will it go above 24k? What i'm trying to say is if i overclock the card will there be any significant change in my score?
Of course! Hard to speculate, but I'd say CPU at atleast 4ghz and GPU overclocked maybe 25-26k. You still should be able to get your CPU past 4ghz if you have a decent cooler.
