I cant go over 234 on air cooled CPU and motherboard because it starts throttling over 4200MHz qpi link speed. I think with better cooling on the CPU and board it will go higher easy.

Slow mode is ok for 2D benching and I get similar scores with slow mode and without. But for 3D slow mode is useless.
Is there such thing as a QPI speed WR or such?

What do you mean it starts throttling over 4.2ghz?

4523Mhz HT OFF wPrime 1024M

Thanks for that quick test. I'll be sticking to HT on for sure, because if it helps with 3d then that is mainly all I care about..gaming performance. Benching is 2nd priority in that sense lol.
