3DMark05 Scores

[xaglx]

So after seeing my poor scores on 3dmark 05 and 06, I decided that I should try to tweak my system a little bit. I went into the bios and changed the cpu clock ratio to 8x and the cpu host frequency to 375 making for what I think is supposed to be 3.0ghz. I save and reboot and everything is ok. Then I restart and change the system memory multiplier to 2.
Next time it reboots it gives me the "boot from cd" screen and then says that it failed to boot. I have to restart again and set the 2x multiplier back to 'auto' in order to get back to windows.

Anyone have any ideas?

Kinda off-topic, so sorry for that.

You probably already know this but just in case..
Try changing the FSB first and memory timings. Go up bit at a time and test it. If it runs stable bump up the FSB more each time. Until it crashes out of 3dmark, then lower it back down to the last stable settings. If you want more out of it increase the CPU voltage. Just 1 at at time. don't over do it or you might fry it. then increase the FSB again. Keep an eye on the cpu temps.

I noticed my BIOS settings dident have PCIE enabled so all this time I was running sli in pci mode. no wonder my scores were low. lol

not exactly sure what I did, or whether or not it's any good to keep my system running like this, but at least my scores went up a little.. :P

Yes I know the memory timings are retarded.

3dmark06 - 5518
3dmark05 - 8692

After setting the timings back to 4-4-4-12, my 3dmark06 score goes up to 5542
