I've overclocked my Dell Dimension E520 QX6800 from 2.93GHz. base to 3.72GHz, stable.
In 3Dmark my physics scores and overall scores improved as expected. But they are much worse in Unigine benchmarks with the overclock applied. I used Throttlestop 6.00 software overclock to unlock volts and multiplier on the LGA775 CPU (usual Dell locked BIOS). It makes no difference whether Unigine starts with the O/C applied already, or if I apply it after opening the program. I lose 6-10 FPS in Heaven , and Valley. Does anyone have any insight into what might be causing this, and would any games be effected?
