Rig complete! Right score?

[Devorikk]

Howdy folks,

So the rig in my sig is officially complete, and I finally had the chance to Benchmark for the first time last night.

3DMark05: 10,250
Aquamark 3: 79,366

Now I *think* I'm in the right area with that 3DMark05 score, but that Aquamark 3 score appears to be approx 30,000 points short of where it should be, yes?

Any opinions/suggested appreciated, thanks!

It looks to me like your CPU is the bottleneck. AM3 is very CPU sensitive on a good card. Crank the CPU to 2.4GHz+ and I reckon you will see a big improvement.

Official Catalyst 6.2 is out as well.

Unfortunately, I had stability issues OCing the CPU passed 2.15ghz. I run at approx 40C idle and 53C at current OC when torture-testing. I've got (in my opinion) fantastic cooling in my case, with a Panaflo blowing directly onto the Zalman. Good ventilation in the Lian-Li. Not sure what the problem is....
