Freddy, £21.90 saving is pretty good but my PC is on for more like 16 hours a day so I make that £28 a year saving on the CPU alone.

If we then add on the savings from the graphics card which thanks to your maths equation I make £40 a year, that is a total saving of:

£68 a year  8)  



Dave your electric bill is sick, I would need to get a second job to pay that, but your sense of humour is wicked (as in very good)  :LOL:  



Syber, I did a WEI with everything underclocked, CPU, RAM and graphics card, very oddly indeed Windows can't see the CPU underclock, it can see the graphics card is slowed down and the SSD score has dropped to 7.7.

Must be a bug in Windows or something  :scratch-head:, I repeated the test twice but got the same results.

Thanks Data, That is odd about the cpu not being seen and the ssd drop is even odder  :scratch-head:

I can understand the SSD drop, it's the speed of the BUS, when you underclock by lowering the FSB it can have an effect on throughput from the PCI BUS. It's the same, but opposite, when you overclock, which incidentally is how I get 7.8 out of the SSD with an overclock to 3.2Ghz, which is my gaming CPU speed.

The CPU score is odd but I have seen the windows WEI report incorrect scores on other forums too, and normally when there is some clocking going on.

 :o what no magic fairy in between the processor and ssd to receive the data transfer of the ssd  :P
Dough!!! I forgot about that Data, Thanks   ;D

Odd or not, it still stomps the Bantha Pudu out of my scores. :P
