Just upgraded to an Athlon X2 4400+

With an Asus A8N motherboard and 2GB Corsair RAM I'm getting an Aquamark CPU score of 9,308 which seems a bit low to me.

Anyone else?
 
i have a X2 4400 @ 2.5Ghz, 2GBof corsair and the A8N-SLI premium

i get a score of 10337 so theres not much in it considering the extra 300Mhz clock speed
 
Did you do anything else when you clocked it? Extra cooling, voltages etc?

I haven't done any gaming yet, but the CPU is running at 32-34 degrees with QFan enabled.
 
Turn that q fan rubbish off for a start.

* V_R just goes off to install Aquamark. :)

Whats wrong with 3Dmark? AM is old now...

Nothing wrong with 3DMark - but AM is small, takes about 2 secs to download and install, and is free.
 
Fair enough. But the 3DM series is free too. :)

First run of AM, turned it up to 1280x1024 and max everything...

nope, stock cooler and voltage although its getting up to 50C under load with the hot weather so i'm thinking of a better cooler or putting one of my tornado's in the case if i can live with it
 
thats a bit crispy there ME_2001
get a cooler that has silent operation speeds
 
right now she's sitting at 48 which i'm not happy about, its still higher than i'd like but 50 is when i start to worry

i need a new HD so might spring for a new cooler at the same time
