Win 7 x64 SP1, Gigabyte GA-870-UD3, AMD Phenom II 1045T, GSkill F3-12800-CL9D-8GBXL.
I just installed this DDR-1600 memory after upgrading my processor. After upgrading to 1045T processor, WIN experinece memory score with old DDR-1333 GSkill value ram - 4 sticks of 2GB was 7.5. After upgrading to DDR-1600 - 2 sticks of 4GB, my WIN Experience score dropped to 7.4. Go figure?
Timings on new DDR-1600 memory is recommended 9-9-9-24. Ran two passes of memtest 1.4 w/o errors. Everest benchmark scores in range of other test scores I have seen for DDR-1600.
So why the drop in WIN experience scores
