DIY workstation test results

[markf]

My new machine seems to be running smoothly, albeit with alot of fan noise.I'm going to try and read the help in Sisoft to get a better understanding of this, but for now I have to get back to work. Thought I'd post this as a start.

 

 

I ran Memtest 3 cycles with no errors.

 

I ran SiSOft Sandra 10 cycles. Here's some of the results (which don't mean much to me do to lack of experience with this)

 

CPU Arithmetic combined index:27340

CPU Multi Media combined index:97782

Memory Bandwidth combined index:4173

Combined Performance index: 3773

Does anyone have any sense if these index numbers are ok?

 

I get one warning on the CPU & BIOS Info module

 

"Processor VCore higher than rated maximum....If bios supports vcore setting, program correct voltage. If not make sure mainboard supports installed processor."

 

Thia is a bit worriesome. It doesn't appear that the bios allows for this to be set by user. I'm sure the board supports the installed proc's.

 

Should I try to fix this? TIA

Mark,

 

Check the system bios, and make sure vcore is set to auto. If sisoft still reports a higher then normal voltage rating, just run some burn in tests.

 

I tend to use sandra as a gauge of performance/information more then the end all source of it.

 

If your not having any stability problems, and the bios is set to auto, you should be just fine.

Thanks Greg.

 

I have looked all through the BIOS menus and cannot find anywhere that allows me to select the vcore value. Since I can't change it and all else looks good I will just proceed as if this is not a problem.

 

Thank again for all of your help.
