Geekbench, is this a okay score?

Well, considering the graphics card, that could be it. I don't see what else it could be. Mid 6000 is an AWESOME score though- check out these scores from early 2009 for Mac models:

The best 4 core Mac Pro on that list got mid-5000s. I'm thinking that computer probably cost about $2500 or more.

And the best Core2Duo score I've seen is like 3500. Keep in mind these are about a year old, but you get the point- the new i5/i7s are crazy fast. Your computer is fast.

Well, we're getting similar scores to real iMac's with the same gear.
Try searching here http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/search for Core i5 or Core i7 and you can compare

Wow I am surprized I am good with this score then considering the price diffrence

How about sharing your successes. I'm stoked. My Hackintosh now does everything right AFAIK.

I guess I shouldn't feel bad about my 7682 score in x64 mode then. I think that puts me slightly in the lead so far...

I don't know how I missed this thread and started the other but it would be nice to start adding in some performance tips and benchmark improvements, (if any).

I didn't realize it but at the time I ran geekbench I had iStat and several other server apps running in the background, I'll have to do a clean boot and run it again to see if it goes up at all.

I got 6003, in 32-bit mode @ 2.66GHz.

I'd like to OC mine but I'm using the stock Intel cooler (which is very, very quiet but I've read it's actually good enough to OC with to some extent).

I have no clue what the acceptable temp range is for the i5 cores though.

What's really weird is that each core gives a different temperature reading according to iStat. 108, 104, 106 and 102 F at the moment. I've seen it go as high as 120F under load.

The bios temp alarm for the CPU doesn't kick in until 60C / 140F.

Does the 32/64 bit selector app work on these hacks set up w/ Chameleon and so on? I'd prefer using that to switch rather than having to edit anything.

You can easily run these puppies up to 80 degrees C if not more, however it's not good if they run hot for extended periods of time. I would set the temp alarm at 90/95 degrees. Still the stock cooler is cheap junk and always has been...
