I've went into bios and adjusted a handful of settings to a more sane level and disabled the auto-overclock (which the auto-overlick netted only marginal gains at best and lots of thermal throttling). This board by default overvolts and overclocks the CPU right out of the gate where it hits mid 60C while idling. It also has a simple benchmark ability, and that's where I was comparing my setup to other people's setup with the same board & cpu. Grant, the intel tuning utility is a program from intel that allows you to view processor properties, settings & various other bits. With MGCJerry's 4790K reporting itself as having Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 圆4 Edition, (.00), he does not have the correct software support yet, he needs (.00), that being SP1. The Stock MBv7 app will test all the functions available (that there is support for), then will report the ones it choses, it should be fastest ones available that don't produce errors.įor Windows 7 (and Vista), For AVX to be utilised you need the correct hardware and the correct software support, that being SP1 for Windows 7 and SP2 for Vista, My stock seems worse than "standard" stock.Īre you sure you installed the Chipset drivers from the Intel DVD? Thank god for dual bios).Īny ideas besides overclocking it.

Latest BIOS (board says Rev1.1, but bios updater says rev 1.0, and the rev 1.1 bios flash crashes. Also looking at other machines it appears my integer benchmarks are terrible as well.ĭoes anyone have any tips for trying to get this thing running like its supposed to? Seems 1100-1300 is about the norm (for my board & cpu combo.

I'm used the Intel Tuning Utility for monitoring the system, and when I use its benchmark, my score is barely past 600. I know the cpu runs hot, and I got it to a temp I'm comfortable with but my performance seems VERY low compared to other machines. I recently sidegraded from a AMD FX to an intel i5 system, then upgraded the cpu to an i7 4790K.
