9700k scoring 1350cb on Cinebench R15

Blueyoshi03 · 20 Dec 2019 at 22:07

So I have a seemingly stable 9700k @ 5ghz 1.33v and i'm scoring 1300-1350's on R15 which is awful. Whats strange though is when I was trying to overclock a couple of weeks ago I was scoring 1550+ at 4.8ghz all core with a -2 AVX but now at 5ghz 0 AVX i'm scoring 1350? Any ideas?

It's not stable?

Have you tried 4.9?

Will try, but I thought stability just meant it would failed stress tests? So if I'm at the settings I have and everything measures 5ghz and I don't fail or crash on anything, and i'm 'not stable' what does that mean?

Try testing memory bandwidth, maybe you lost something there?

1300 drop from 1550 is quite a substantial drop. If 4.8 is that much better then I would suspect that 5.0 isn't stable, or something's changed that you didn't expect.

First try 2.8 again and see what score you get.

Try 5ghz but with 1.35v and see if score improves.

Temps ok? not throttling by any chance?

well... thats a little embarrassing, I closed chrome and got 1586...

I was going to say check to make sure nothing is interfering or if the board was vrm throttling. My 9600k was stable at 5ghz 1.32v. There was a noticable increase in benchmarks. I posted about it on here. I've dropped it to 4.9ghz 1.3v due to temps being a little high but it's still high in the benchmark side. These coffee lake cpus like the 5ghz mark. I've yet to see one that wasnt stable at that range.
