Slow down of disk after Overclock test crash

[Arnieb]

I recently built a system which test scored @ 7096. I did some additional overclock testing to see if I could squeeze some additional speed of the system and caused a few crashes along the way. After recovering the bios and removing the tweaks everything works fine except that when I would run the performance disk test again the disk rating slowed dramatically from a score of 53491 to 8501.

After multiple tests and determining that the bios settings were not the culprit I restored a previous version of the disk using a clone. The disk scores jumped back up to the expected 53000+.

At any rate, is anyone aware of a windows issue that causes the disk read/write etc. to adjust after a system crash due to overclocking?

My preference is to adjust a windows affected dll or Registry edit or other item without having to restore the disk to a previous window.

My guess would be that the software environment changed. The score of 55K can only be achieved with a ram disk or ram cache.

Thank you for for the quick response. The actual hard drive is a PCIe ocz revodrive 3x2. I'm not sure why the my samsung shows up as the primary in this test. I've tested samsung drive, as well as, a ocz vertex 3 drive and both test at much lower speeds than the revodrive 3x2. Any thoughts as to something specific in the windows environment that might have caused the change?
