Overclocked my CPU to 3.5Ghz and tested it on Heaven benchmark , I got an amazing 0.3 FPS more and 9 more points on my score than the stock 2.4Ghz Speed WoW :lol:

CPU = Q6600 (the best one ever made :wink: ) 3.5Ghz on Air

maybe that benchmark focuses more on the gpu than cpu? :smile:

I tried the same thing and got the same result. Q6600 at 2.4 then at 3.2 made about 0.5 fps difference to the result.

The benchmark looks good on the 5850 though doesn't it.. :thumbr:
