Cinebench scores normal?

[Tris1066]

Just curious if my cinebench scores are within normal range for an 8700k as I've seen a lot higher than these..

@5GHz 1652pts
@5.1GHz 1670pts
@5.2GHz 1693pts

I've seen claimed scores of 1650-1670pts @4.7GHz which seems quite high compared to my own.

I can't push to 5.3GHz without going past 1.4v which I'm not prepared to do (don't want to cook my CPU!).

seems comparable to me

Thankyou sir, puts my mind at rest that I didn't get a dud chip

Hitting 5.2GHz seems the opposite of dud compared with other overclockers....

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be comfortable running 5.2 all the time, I did it just for benchmarking purposes. It takes around 1.38-1.39v to get a stable 5.2ghz, which makes things a bit toasty, hitting around 90 degrees during my hour long stress testing.

For actual use I stick to a nice round 5GHz @ 1.29v.
