I have just finished an extreem high end gaming rig.
But I have run in to a bit of a wired thing.

Let me start what I have in my rig:

Computer spec:


Corsair Obsidian 900D
Corsair AX1500i
Cablemods
17x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC-3000 PWM
4x PWM splittercables
Asus MAXIMUS VII FORMULA
Intel Core i7-4790K
2x ASUS ROG ARES III
3x Samsung 850 Pro Series 256GB SSD
16GB Corsair Dominator Quad DDR3 kit
2x XSPC AX480 Quad radiator
XSPC AX240 Dual radiator
XSPC AX120 Single radiator
XSPC RX360 Triple radiator
XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25 Bay Reservoir Pump
EK-Supremacy EVO Acetal+Nickel CPU block
PrimoChill PrimoFlex ADVANCED LRT bloodshed red housing
Thermochill EC6 Non Conductive Coolant - Clear
Bluray
Windows 8.1 64bit


Now, at stock right after I completded this and after a few hours of burn in and stability test I got score in 3D Mark Fire Strike of 20935!!!

Now a 1 week later I have attemt to owerclock both CPU and the GPU`s.
And my next run in the same 3D Mark I got a score of only 12360 and after that it has "stabalized" on around 10000.
That is more then 50% down.
Is that "normal" Or am I doing something horrible wrong. :confused:

System is stable and run both Unigine Heaven benchmakr 4.0 (Advanced Edition) My Score on this is 1842 on the Extreme Preset. I have no idea if this score is "good" or "bad" As I have no one to compare it with. And Aida64 Extreme Stress test and are stable on 40 - 48 C on GPU and 30 - 35 C on the CPU.
The CPU is now at 4600MHz, not posible get a higher clock stable.
And the GPU`s is at 1103 MHz Core clock and 1300MHz memory clock.

Please reply to me your thoughts and sugestions.
 
Sounds like you've got one of the cards or crossfire disabled. Quadfire (or in your case two dual gpus) is also a bit dodgy.
 
I kan`t belive I faild to check this! Haha. Thank you so much barnsley. Now I have 21106 in 3D Mark Firestrike and 4361 in Uengine heaven, so that is more what I expected to get :)
