5960X under water, is this normal?

[weird_dave]

I've put together a 5960X rig with the raystorm 750 kit:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/xspc-raystorm-750-ex240-watercooling-kit-wc-265-xs.html

I'm running intel burn test at the moment (writing this on the old rig) and am seeing 70 degrees in HWMonitor.
CPU VCore is 0.95
CPU speed is 4GHz
HT is enabled (16 threads)
HWMonitor is also reporting a peak power use of 194W (averaging about 185W)

The temps seem a bit high, tho this is on max stress level.
I'm also a bit surprised by the power useage, 185W seems quite high.
First result has just appeared, 146 GFlops, this seems very low

Can anyone shed any light on what's wrong?

It would seem I only have 1 fan running! That would explain a degree or 2.
The Gflops seem low tho. Is there something else I should be testing performance with these days?

 

[weird_dave]

well, I just tried Cinebench R15, score 1537, not sure how to compare with other tho.

 

[weird_dave]

I'm at 4.0G CPU, 3.0G Cache and 2.4G mem, scored 2068 with XTU.
Obviously early days with O/C this thing Taking it steady...

 

[weird_dave]

Clearly, I'm too far down the food chain on speed, which is why I've struggled to get comparative data. Just scored 166K in RealBench, which seems fair.
I guess it's time to head to 4.4G

 

[weird_dave]

OK, I will try 4.4/3.5, cheers 8 Pack

 

[weird_dave]

Well, XTU seems to work, 2292 which is pretty much the expected 10% gain on the 4G result.
I'm not sure I'm reading the correct result for Vcore, HWMonitor says 0.92 (I set it to 1.1 in the BIOS, with 0.1 offset).
XTU tuning options are showing me what I set in the BIOS, so are the cores running at 1.1 or 1.2?

 

[weird_dave]

OK, using CPU-Z, I see VCore 1.197, the same as VID in HWMonitor, so the VCore in HWM is just plain wrong I assume? Neither values changed when I ran the test.
If the offset is always applied, what's the point? (There obviously is one, but I can't see it yet).

 

[weird_dave]

Yeah, that was the link I found which made me think it was low, I'm using version 2.54, which may not be the latest.
