I would clock the CPU higher but I cant seem to find the 4th spring for my waterblock, so im only running two screws right now.

I gotta shower and work on school so I wont be diving in to it for awhile.

EDIT:

and this is on my standard W7, not the benching one for those curious.

Nice! So, is it better to use two accounts with 1 for benching, and 1 for 24/7?

i think he was refering to the "benching" windows 7 that has been made public. its basically a fully striped out version of windows to help increase performance when benching

hey guys are xeons better than i7's for OC'ing?

is windows 7 bench free
