2500K Low score

[Talley]

just built me a new system and my 2500k seems to be low scoring. I'm at work right now but I can tell you this:

2500k
stock - cpu score 5200
@ 4.2 - cpu score 6800

win7 ultimate 64
biostar tz68a=
8gb corsair vengance 1600 99924
64gb crucial m4
corsair 430w psu
using integrated graphics

I'll post exact specs tonight but any ideas why my scores are low? heck i built a amd phenom iix4 955 that scored almost as high.

Are you running the 32bit release of PerformanceTest or the 64bit release?

Did you check CPU temperature to make sure it isn't overheating. (A very common problem on new home built systems).
