^^^....halfway there, no diff in spi for sure...but doing my 2nd run pcmark now.

EDIT: slow mode is very appropriately named. I lost 5K points in pc mark5, just watching pcmark 5 run in slow mode was painful...couple times I thought it was crashing....it was just running real slowwwwww..basically all Hard drive activities and graphics are 30% slower on slow mode. And in case your wondering if increasing QPI from 36 to 44 makes a difference, it does not on spi, pcmark5, or everest when I downclocked my OC to where I could compare 36 vs 44. But decreasing qpi from 36 to slow mode, hoses performance of hard drive/graphics.
