Why does 3dmark lock but games run fine?

Why can I run all of my games (Doom3, FarCry, Thief Deadly Shadows, etc) at maxed out details, but I try and run 3DMark03 at the same clock speeds and lock. There is not a big diff in speeds, but there is a diff. Games run fine at 678/630, but 3DMark03 only runs at 675/615. I know 3DMakr03 means about jack...it is just kinda buggy.

Here is 3DMark03 if you are curious. It is not at 2.86, as my Mach II is still down.

OC'd right? mine was oding the same back when i first started OCing, i think i relaxed the timings and it worked fine.
 
i think it is pretty obvious that you are pushing the OC too far with your current cooling. So don't OC so high or get better cooling.
 
Cooling is fine. I run games for hours + and all is well...I just dont get why the bench locks. buggggyyyy
