I checked my system performance at stock settings and got a geekbench 64 bit score of around 9400. Then I booted into Windows 7..ran Easy Tune ( The Gigabyte tool that provides a quick method of overclocking). I upped my speed to 2.91 Ghz..booted back into Snow Leopard and Ran Geekbench again. This time the score was 9831.
I repeated the process but this time boosted the Easy Tune Settings to 3.15 GHZ (It also boosted the ram speed to 1200MHZ.
I booted back into 10.6.4 and reran geekbench. This time my score was 4573. Wow!!.. Why the drop off and what changed between 2.91 and 3.15 ? ≈
Processor temps look low but performance in both geekbench and cinebench took big hits.
What am I missing?
