E6750 CPU score in 3DMark06 [56K warning!]

**temeteus82** · Dec 18, 2007, 06:50 PM

Hi!

Just got installed my upgrade and ran 3dMark06 and CPU score was 794. Is this real or is there something wrong with my settings in here.
Mobo is Abit's IP35 and all is running in stock.

Just realized that I got ht SpeedStep thing on so it might explain alot

ChaosMinionX · Dec 18, 2007, 08:02 PM

Well speedstep should turn off when the processor is under load.... depending on the rest of the hardwares specs 700pts might be right for 3d06.

**temeteus82** · Dec 18, 2007, 08:54 PM

Hmm.... Got G.Skill RAM that is running 4-4-3-5 ... and now there is vdub doing some work (audio) and the damm cpu multiplier is 6 when it should be 8?

PangingJr · Dec 19, 2007, 08:55 PM

so, have you tried turning off the CPU functions in BIOS to see if it will work better with your system?

**temeteus82** · Dec 19, 2007, 08:56 PM

some, and I'm about now going to run 3dmark 06

[EDIT] no effect... got c1e function disabled and EIST function too :P

FWIW, my e6700 scores 2800+ in 3DMark 06.

Since this is a new installation/upgrade, make sure you get the latest BIOS and chipset/motherboard drivers.

They are.

BTW. Dyre give me a link to your results so I can compare them....

**kris23** · Dec 20, 2007, 12:22 AM

hey man are your settings at default?

**temeteus82** · Dec 20, 2007, 12:33 AM

yeah no OC at all. And what settings you mean ??

**kris23** · Dec 20, 2007, 12:36 AM

some settings like AA and AF and textures and quality should be set to the lowest setting as the differences in performance and the points will be higher on lower settings.

**temeteus82** · Dec 20, 2007, 12:39 AM

well that should not matter since we are talking CPU score in here... I've seen that E4400 gets over 2000 CPU points and I just get almost 800 points...

**kris23** · Dec 20, 2007, 12:48 AM

not sure but i think they have some kind of engine by Ageia to stress the CPU and if thats adjustable, it most likely will make the score change.

Don't think so. Just saw test done yesterday with E6600 @ stock and it got 2000 CPU points so me thinks that there is something wrong since it got way better FPS in the CPU test than I did and the build and stuff were same.

**kris23** · Dec 20, 2007, 01:06 AM

hows the conditions in your HDD?

Also is your memory fully tested? ive been wondering that all this time, are both sticks running properly?

**temeteus82** · Dec 20, 2007, 01:11 AM

all are ok. And the culprit is...... CPU multiplier... it goes to six when under load... just ran Prime95 benchmark with CPU-Z open ...

**kris23** · Dec 20, 2007, 01:23 AM

wow.... how the heck does that happen?

**temeteus82** · Dec 20, 2007, 01:29 AM

your guess is as good as mine... I guess that it's to due CPU temp, it's around 80 Celsius on stock cooler from Intel...

**kris23** · Dec 20, 2007, 01:31 AM

could be some kind of safeguard from overheating so the chip doesnt get damaged.....

its rare for a chip to be defective like this though.....

try getting a new cooler or at least new compound....

I have some old Arctic Silver Ceramique in here... the thermal "stipes" on the intel's stock lookked but funny. 3 Stripes so that might explain things...

**kris23** · Dec 20, 2007, 01:45 AM

you actually used the stuff that came with the CPU?

Sorry, teme....

Had to leave for work and just got back home.

Here's a link to the best score I've posted so far. This was using my x1950 Pro and it's kind of old. But, all my posted/published scores will show about the same score for the CPU.

Futuremark - ORB - Project Comparison

As for the issue you're having: I do think it's due to a bad thermal connection between the CPU and heatsink. Right now, I can push this CPU to 3.35 GHz and the temp never goes above 58C.

[High Temp corrected from previously posted 50C.]

Here's my latest test score done under Vista....

Futuremark - ORB - Project Comparison

EDIT: I'm going to post this as a "FWIW" since I just dealt with this last week on a PC belonging to a brother-in-law. He had just bought a new mobo, CPU, RAM, and video card and had spent some time putting it all together last Wednesday evening.

Well, several hours later he still wasn't able to get a POST or any image on the monitor. Using another system, he emailed me to see if I could drop by before work last Thursday to see if I could figure out the problem.

So, I dropped by there and it took less than fifteen minutes for me to figure out what had happened.

After checking all the cables and basic stuff, I disconnected the hold down clamp on the CPU fan and pulled it up off the motherboard. Along with the fan assembly came the processor, too! He had failed to properly lockdown the processor. (AM2, btw.) The whole thing came out and I removed the CPU from the heatsink and properly installed and locked it down.

After getting everything else connected and in place again, the system booted with no problem and he was able then to get things together when he got home from work.

Sooo......I mention this only for the sake that...MAYBE....just MAYBE....your CPU isn't completely and properly locked down. I've never had one to work partially, though. It either works or it doesn't. BUT, I do have to wonder if you've got just enough connection to get some performance but not completely. At any rate, I'd pull it off and then make positively sure the CPU is completely and properly locked down just for my own assurance if nothing else.

Good luck!

Came with the cooler. yes ... I figured that it should be able to let all run at stock.

But it seems that the case isn't that in here...

It is firmly in place. And I' sure that cooler is too... So makes me wonder.... I think I'll send some e-mail to Intel ...

[EDIT] now when running with C1E and EIST on the multiplier is 6 adn temps are around 69 Celsius...

[EDIT2] I've been thinking that perhaps my Noctua 120x120 fans (800rpm) aren't enough for that stock cooler :P since I ran Prime95 again and multiplier's were what they should be but the thermal shutdown happened and it will occur 90 Celsius ..

Dyre Straits · Dec 20, 2007, 10:14 AM

Those stats are just not right. ???

I've been tinkering with various settings over the past few nights and presently have my E6700 set at 400 MHz FSB x 8x Multiplier = 3.2 GHz OC. My Processor temp = 35C w/ Core1 @ 44C and Core2 @ 45-47C.

The only thing I can't seem to adjust [yet] on this new MSI board is the Command Rate for the RAM. It seems to be stuck at 2T and I'd love to get it to 1T if possible.
(Motherboard is MSI P35 Neo with the latest BIOS and Updates.) I've had the RAM running @1067 6.6.6.20/2T with no problems at all. But, I'd like to get it to run @ 800 MHz 4.4.4.12/1T if possible.

Anyway, Teme, even if you're POSITIVE that the CPU is locked down, I'd still strongly suggest taking a few minutes to redo it just to be absolutely sure. Something's just not right and I don't think it's the fault of the processor. At least not yet.

**temeteus82** · Dec 20, 2007, 10:32 AM

Dyre, what cooler you are using??

This one:

But, even with the stock cooler I was using before, I very rarely ever saw the temps go above 65C under load. I'm very keen to keep the CPU below 60C as much as possible.

Is your fan speed being adjusted properly for the various loads?

It's around 1700 rpm's at least speed fan tell's me so... and now CPU is 56C runnig at 2000Mhz x6 multiplier odd thing is that it got this Temp1 and it's 74C now and bellow it is cores at 57C both...

It shows CPU 56C fan is ~1800 rpm.. Core1&1 are 71C

[EDIT] And BIOS shows 81C and normal voltages. all software shows that all voltages are down a bit... well +12V is down to +6V but BIOS says that its just fine ... :O
