![]() ![]() Please purchase Geekbench to unlock 64-bit benchmarks.' And a link to to purchase Geekbench2 for US$19.95. I downloaded it yesterday and it came with 32-bit, 64-bit, and Rosetta variations of the benchmark app, so download and see? - CG Of course I downloaded and tried it, how else did I find out there is a cost? Did you try to actually run the 64bit bench after you downloaded it? When I tried I got this: 'Purchase Geekbench to run 64-bit benchmarks Geekbench is restricted to 32-bit benchmarks while in tryout mode. I don't think there's a license anymore, unless I have one hidden away. ![]() OSX does not report the 3.6GHz/1600 in System Profile, instead reporting the original 3GHz/1333 CPU speeds but booting into Windows or running bench tests as above reveal the reality. Xbench score is 193.99 Cinebench 4.20 (original score 2.8GHz was 3.3) It's a very simple mod and I'll probably post more information over the next few days when I have time. Geekbench 32bit score is 7476 I don't want to spend the US$20 for the licence to run the 64bit version as yet. Just in case anyone is interested, I've just overclocked a Mac Pro quad (early 2008) to 3.6GHz using a 3GHz/1333MHz Harperton Xeon BSEL mod'd to run at 3.6GHz/1600MHz. ZDNet team was able to overclock Mac Pro 1.1 which sports two Intel Xeon X5355 processors clocking at 2.66Ghz to 3.10 GHz and Mac Pro 3.1 sporting two Intel Xeon E5462 processors clocking at 2.80GHz to 3.2GHz. I also tried removing all the other HDDs from the Mac, and booting with just the keyboard plugged in USB, Same result.This is way you are very safe from frying your CPU, chipset and motherboard from voltage increase. I beleive that windows is starting up, but for some reason, my video just goes caput - no blinking curser, or anything, just like I shut down the computer, nothing. I then tried removing the HDD and ran the bootcamp windows 7 install on a MBP, and installed the BootCamp Windows Support stuff, then tried to put the HDD back in my mac pro, thinking maybe its just drivers, but still as soon as I tried to boot from the windows partition, no siganl again. My problem is I tried to install Windows 7 Using Boot Camp, and the Boot Camp Assistant did its thing with no errors or anything, but once the computer restarted, the white screen came up and once it tried to boot from the Windows DVD, the screen just goes to "no signal" and shuts off. ![]() My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Device ID: 0x0601 Revision: 0x00a2 ROM: 3233 The video card works perfectly mac side, no issues, I see the white screen, then apple logo on bootup and it seems to work exactly as it should. I have a Mac Pro 3,1 running 10.8.3 with all updates installed. ![]()
