Should i trust geekbench 5 or passmark

[dave28]

Any thoughts on these as CPU benchmark software. Im using a 5800X with high end mobo.

I just changed my 32GB gskill RAM kit 3200 14 14 14 34 to a corsair 32GB 3600 18 22 22 42 and passmark CPU single core score went from 3500 to 3000. A huge loss in strength in other words and well under average.

So i tested on Geekbench 5 and CPU single core score is a shade over average.

I made sure both sets of ram were running with their XMP profiles.

Is it just that passmark is useless or have the poor secondary timings on the cheaper ram kit really made that much difference.

poor timings

You downgraded from very fast latency memory to very mediocre memory:
Those G.Skill's timings mean ~8.75ns (tCL, tRCD, tRP) and ~21.25ns (tRAS) absolute latencies.
While Corsair's timings mean ~10.00ns (tCL), ~12.22ns (tRCD, tRP) and ~23.33ns (tRAS)

Hence also gaming performance degraded, because every memory access has now higher latency.

You should have overclocked that highly binned Samsung B-die G.Skill to 3600MHz CL16 (~8.89ns) if you wanted more performance.

Like EsaT has said! You'll be better off sending the corsair stuff back and stick with the GSkill kit.

Geekbench doesn't stress memory so that's why you probably see little difference there.

look at actual uses not benchmarks. Also send that corsair stuff back.

That's a huge difference in timings, the G-Skill looks like Samsung E-Die, the Corsair something 'other', as others have said send the Corsair stuff back, your G-Skill stuff is better. if you want 3600Mhz memory try clocking the G-Skill up.

Those G.Skill, will be Samsung B-Die IC's

Adding a bit more voltage, you should be able to hit 3600 / 3800 CL16 with out too much hassle on those.

I meant B-Die, yes sorry, Typo
