yeah tanamoril, you prob posted just before i posted my next (corrected) results of 1280x1024 (right above your post) so no worries. anyway, did it again at 460/1250 and it locked up, so set it back to 445/1250 and it went through...

ran again at 1280x1024 and got 3762 which still isn't bad. xps gen2 2.13 450/1200 edit with 7800gtx

Main Test Results 3DMark Score4120 3DMarks SM 2.0 Score1712 Marks SM 3.0 Score2166 Marks CPU Score891 Marks Was running with antivirus/spyware in background. im stoked because yesterday my system only hit 2700 or so as the cpu was...

i downloaded centrino, and while i didnt change any of the settings (it already indicated that i had max perf set) it seemed to do the trick. kicked my score up as follows, over doubling my cpu score. this was with antivirus/spyware...

yeah, those were maxes. is there a way to force the cpu to not step down, or is that too risky (or even possible)?

thanks again for the quick responses. i checked fangui right after running 2 full sessions of 3dmark06. my cpu hit 60 and my gpu hit 81, both of which i think are reasonable temps (i checked my temp using both fangui and nvidia...

thanks murdock. thats exactly what i was thinking but i do track my temps using fangui and they are running reasonably cool (i think)--my cpu idles in mid 30s and peaks, very rarely, at 60 when under extreme load. gpu maxes at mid...

i ran 3dmark06 today and only scored a 2257 (xps2 w 7800gtx). i noticed my cpu score was only 337 and the cpu stats showed the cpu at 2.12Ghz@799MHz(?) Any idea what would cause this and how i can fix it? shouldn't it be up around...

hi all, i just ran 3dmark06 and got a score of 2257, which seems quite low from other scores i've seen. i have an xps2 with a 7800gtx in it running at factory clock speeds. the cpu only scored a 337 and shows its running at 799Mhz....

thanks for the quick replies. yeah looks like i was confusing it with the standard. im not interested in ocing it but i thought it was running hotter than it should given some of the temps ive seen posted here. then again, its been...
