I just got a 8800GTS along with that i have a Core 2 Duo e6600 (stock). My GPU scores are perfect in 3dmark06. But my Cpu scores are lower than normal. I just updated the bios and it's still the same way. I get 0.429 in cpu test 1 and 0.686 in cpu test 2. My CPU score is 1357. Any other options?
 
Mind pasting some screenshots from CPUZ?

Pics of the first 4 tabs or so should do it :).

How are your temperatures?

temperatures are high. But the heatsink stays cool...........
 
I found the problem!!
My mobo thinks my cpu is overheating and it downclocks it automatically. How can i turn it off?
 
you SURE your motherboard is only THINKING it's getting too hot...

Your chip might ACTUALLY be getting to hot. How about giving us some load temps using Core Temp or intel TAT.

additionally, you should remount your HSF, as it seems you're not getting good thermal transfer.
 
I figured out the problem. One of my CPU Heatsink tabs were not attached as good as it should of been. SO it was throttling down to 1.6Ghz in CPU benchmarks. I got everything working out fine now. Thank you.
