weaselchops Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi all, Just installed iDeneb 1.4 on my Abit IP35 PRO that has quad core 2.5Ghz Q9300 and 4GB ram I got a poor score of 2563 Comparing my results: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/134226 Other results all greater than 4000!!: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/134053 http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/134178 Other info: I choose the 9.5 kernel and NVdarwin Any ideas what could be causing the bad results? Thanks Weasel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166219-poor-geekbench-performance/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaselchops Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Meh! I tried to do the same under Windows...even worse! Tried an updated bios and got a slightly better result. Looks like have some duff hardware somewhere in the chain Thanks for looking anyway Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166219-poor-geekbench-performance/#findComment-1155885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_charlie Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You have an Intel Chipset and an Intel CPU. Why don't you use vanilla kernel?? Maybe that's the problem. Use a vanilla kernel and use EFI strings for your devices to avoid using unnecesary kexts. That should help. With my G31 chipset and a Core2 Duo E8400 I can pass the 4000+ on Geekbench withou a problem. And my system is inferior than yours. You should check that. Cheers!!

weaselchops Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Yay we all like a happy ending Turns out by leaving my motherboard on auto everything was bad! I set it to manual using the same settings that the auto setting used and now I am getting 5418!! http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/134876 Thanks for the kernel advice...may give that a go too. I was just following setting for setting an install somebody else did on the same motherboard....as I just gave up with Kalyway after 20,00 installs, trying to get from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166219-poor-geekbench-performance/#findComment-1157277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
