New SSD (Intel 520-120GB)  - Low WEI score

I am getting low Windows Experience Index scores (5.9) with my new SSD and am trying understand what is going on.

 

I have the following setup.

 

Intel 120GB 520 Series SSD

Intel I7-2700K

Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3

Windows 7 (all updates installed)

Latest SSD Firm ware installed

 

The drive is connected to the Intel Z68 Serial ATA 6.0Gb/s connector in AHCI mode

I have tried the Intel SSD Toolbox optimizer

 

Here is the output from "winsat disk" command, why do I get the 1.9's?

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
