RAID 0 speed cut in half..help

I was getting 96 MBs and tonight I was playing around with some OCing. went over 4GHz for fun...ran fine..dropped it to 3.8 for peace of mind. ran PCMark testing along the way. now wehen I run the Sandra hard drive test I get anywhere from 30-60MBs...I'm currently back at stock speeds to see if that affected it and I just got 39MBs. What is up with this. whats causeing this..is Sandra just making an error in its reading..did OCing somehow affect the HDD? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

2x250 Maxtor 16mb cache in Intel Chip RAID0 on Asus P5AD2-E PRemium mobo with P4 3.4

edit: ok I ran HDTach and got the attach results which seem to be right where they were previously. THE HD seems super fast right now with graphics and such. I think sandra is just reading wrong. Kinda like how CPU-Z and the Asus- mobo monitor read totally different specs. in voltage. can't figure out why.

Don't rely on Sandra, it's know to give inaccurate readings. HDTach as you've done is a better performance indicator. Nice xfer rate BTW...
