Yes just downloaded gigabyte controller centre i am on latest revisions now F13b ,weird, i run the cine bench tests again with 250w instead of 125 w Multicore result was 36772 but i had applications running in back ground luminar neo and lightroom and microsoft edge it still got hot though but when i run the single core turned off all apps the score did not improve drastically over 125w power 2240 pts v 2225pts ,so i guess the 250w power running only improves multi core usage ,now where can i get better temps for multi core uasge as the single core usage run at 72 where as yesterday it ran 79 in the cinebench so i guess the latest bios updates has improved slightly over previous .My next choice i guess is set a undervolt bias ? but not to savy as they say.
ok thanks to be honest it kind of runs best on stock set up i am not going to be overclocking ,although looking to get a better cinebench score getting closer to a good score got a 37,000+ in multicore ,the undervolt thing confused me i ended up resetting bios i have now gone with 0.05 undervolt to begin with ,my speed problem is more storage related with external hard drives and lightroom catalogues ,and trying to have a form of redundacy ,and online cloud back up ,and working out what i can do with old pc ,selling off parts is it worth it? would anyone here be interested although parts are old now ?
