My system has been running stable for about a week and performs above my expectations. It's been able to handle everything I can throw at it without the CPU going over 50 Celsius.

With that said, I'm pretty surprised by my low geekbench score. Best I've managed is about 5800. This is in the range of a 2010 dual core Macbook. My CPU is running at 3.9Ghz (quad), 16 Gigs of RAM...seems like it should be much higher than that.

I've followed all of these instructions, with zero improvement - http://lnx2mac.blogspot.com/2010/07/optimal-bios-configuration.html

I suppose it's not too important, as long as it performs to my expectations in real life, but it makes me wonder if I'm not getting everything I could out of this machine.

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Here is a link to the specific score, if it helps.

Hmmm...I'm unfamiliar with SSDT? I pretty much just installed the user DSDT through multibeast and left the rest of it alone. What is SSDT?

*My bad, just saw the link...let me read up
 
Great info! I'll have to download the new multibeast and give it a try.

Thanks, and I'll report on the results.
 
Forgive me, one more question. I'm not sure if I should install the regular or overclocked version. BIOS is still a confusing thing to me...I didn't actually manually change the speed, I think that it went from 3.5Ghz to 3.9 because I changed Turbo Boost to enabled, instead of auto. This was a step suggested in the previous link I sent. From the description in MultiBeast, I would assume that I should just use the regular i7 SSDT, but I'm not certain.
