Nice one, mate)

Thanks Dart

I need to learn the bios settings. There are so many it's easy to get lost.

Samual ran a 1290 with a lower clock. he seems to have found a sweet spot with his setup. Not sure if it's the z87 chipset or his memory.

Any thoughts?

He is also using win8 instead of win7. For some reason i also get higher scores on win8 on xtu consistently.

Try running the cache higher? I see samual is running his @x48.

Cache line prefetch should also be enabled. And you only need to run high oc for the first 3 sec of the bench, this is when the score is calculated. After that you can enable slow mode or clock down the cpu, good to know if you want to push higher oc

THX guy's

Cache line prefetch is set in the bios? the other settings your adjusting in XTU?

Thanks again

Very good score M..

Samuels score are also awesome, G.I Sam know what he is doing,, ^^

Fine tuning and settings

Yes cache line prefetch in BIOS. That's needed for most benchs except aquamark.

Also try clocking down 4sec into the bench, you could probably run 100Mhz higher OC that way.

Hola 4 sec only? i run mine 5 minutes.. que

Yep, the score is calculated the first 4-5 sec of the bench.After that just clock down, wont hurt your total score
