The clockspeed is just to low to produce anything spectacular. At least you are beating a 4670 now.
I'm uncertain what the beta BIOS did but the score went up. Still it only runs at 3.3ghz.
I don't think Skylake is fully optimized yet.
@justin4pack, looks like a bit of magic going on there, perhaps like as seen in Eurogamer's i5-6500 review. Excellent showing for a $189 CPU!
Thanks to all who are participating, I'm having fun seeing how all these systems measure up, I hope you are too.
Corsair H50 All in One. right now i am running 4.1Ghz idle @28c load is under 50cAwesome results! What cooler are you using?
Congrats with the good OC on your new BIOS
Hopefully this issue will be resolved before Kaby Lake! I have an ASRock Z170 Extreme4. Interestingly, the latest BIOS revision, 2.70, which I installed last weekend, is no longer available for download. I wonder why?That's why you have to buy Kaby Lake with improved BLCK OC(tm)
Hopefully most if not all can be fixed via BIOSes. Some companies like Gigabyte and Asus is awfully behind currently. not even Speedshift is on with those mobos.
I will try that tonight.Could you try run HWinfo64? And see if SST is supported. Red=CPU supported but BIOS disabled. Green=all good.
Going from 2133 to 2933 netted me about .05 point on an i7-6700, this might not be the best benchmark to test memory bandwidth.People with Haswell & Skylake systems should try running Cinebench 11.5 with different memory speeds, to see what difference memory faster than the officially supported memory speed makes.
