I have a new Core i7 machine and today I found your site and software and decided to give it a go to see some effects of my overclocking efforts.
Most everything is great... my CPU and video card scores are slightly above the averages in the charts on this site.
However, my hard drive and CD/DVD drive scores vary quite a bit when retesting. I understand that each time there will be a bit of difference, but for example, a CD Mark score that I recorded when testing all components at their stock speed was 530.8. Just now, I ran the same test, on the same drive, with the same disk (a Call of Duty game that happened to be laying around) and got a score of 1257.8, nearly 58% better.
Also, my IDE CD/DVD drive seems to get better scores than my SATA CD/DVD drive. Thought that would be the other way around.
In the first test I did, my hard drive (WDC 640 gig) scored right around the average in your charts. In subsequent tests, its score varies between 570 and 670.
Anything that I can do to make these tests more consistent?
Core i7 920
Asus P6T Deluxe V2
12GB G.Skill RAM
GTX 280 OCX
WDC 640GB HDD
Samsung IDE DVD burner
HP SATA DVD burner
