I'm doing basically my first real DICE session with E8600 + D9GKX Firestix + Biostar Tpower I45 and my Pi efficiency is TERRIBLE!

Example:



I even reinstalled a different "version" (less cut down) of XP while DICE was running to try and figure it out

Using all the same tweaks I have been down to 45,500 efficiency for a "4Ghz challenge" but with this setup I'm getting ~47,500.

Here is a basic rundown of what I'm using, and I've tried all combinations and mixed them all up to no real gain.

1) Nlited XP
2) Diagnostic Startup (tried normal obviously)
3) Various pagefile setups (No pagefile, different size & location)
4) MAXMEM = 400-600 tried everything in between (600 works best)
5) Running Pi in Real Time
6) Tweaking affinity of Pi and other processes
7) Even used "copy waza" for a little gain combined with MAXMEM
8) Running with Explorer.exe killed

Been using all combinations of the above and obvious RAM timing tweaks etc, what am I missing?

Even @ 4ghz with 3-3-3-1 timings I can't get under 47k efficiency

Keep in mind this is the first time I've used this board, so I might be missing something completely. Have a few pounds of DICE left so if anyone has any bright ideas fast let me know
