i9 9900k Gaming pc low performance?

[Ervinoo]

Hello everyone!

 

I may be paranoid or something, but when building a computer for over £2000 that you've saved for a year I'm worried that my components are not working in order.

 

I've ran a couple of benchmarks. Currently everything at stock.

 

On time spy the i9 9900k scored 10900 

On Cinebench R20 it scored 4500, that's low for stock right?!!

 

For stock on Superposition I get 8700 score 

And Timespy 13500

 

I'm just worried that I've got something wrong with my system. Everything seems well as in temp wise. I9 stays around 30 - 35 idle and around 60 - 70 gaming on my kraken x62. And Gpu stays around 25 - 30 idle, 70ish gaming.

 

Could anyone help me on this??

Thanks.

A bit low, but I dont know if it's holding 4.7GHz or not.

Yeah it stays at 4.7

Is it a brand new build? Windows could be updating loads of things in the background.

Yup, I built it last Friday though, used it since.

maybe background tasks?

Forget benchmarks, fire up a game or do whatever it is you want to do with your machine and see what numbers you get. Crank those settings and put your system through a real test. If you're satisfied with what you see, then the benchmarks scores are irrelevant.

Give it a day or two, clear any backround apps you don't want running, and see if its still a problem.  Windows can be funky and will just update when it wants to on a fresh build, tanking performance.  But your performance doesn't sound horrid, the 5000+ C20 scores are mostly for 5.0-5.2ghz overclocks iirc, likewise 13500 may be a hint low but its not far off average for that combo

Finally keep in mind if you have anything running in backround while benchmarking, your scores will show it.  At optimize all this a bit, nothing too fancy.

also keep in mind with 9900k and 2080ti, probably bigger majority then with any hardware combo people are going to likely be OCing, which will effect comparisons like TimeSpy.  Sure both these parts are used by professionals, but they're mainly for enthusiasts, majority of which want to crank every drop they can out of their fancy rigs.

There is a huge difference in the performance between 2080 tis.

 

For example my EVGA XC does 13481 in TimeSpy and my FTW3 Ultra does 14458. Both use a i7 8086k at 5ghz.

 

 Superposition like the older Unigine benches don't use many cores so an all core overclock to 5ghz helps a lot.

My score with the XC is 9404

 

The XC can also get power starved unless it is set to 130% on the power limit. Even at that it is quiet on the stock fan curve.

It used 342 watts max during the benches and if it was a 100% it would have used 90 watts less. 

By contrast the FTW3 Ultra maxes out at 387 watts.

 

I don't overclock it much with only +100 on the cores.  Adding + 800 on the memory does not give a heat penalty but adds some performance as well.

Run O&O Shutup 10 and disable all of that ridiculous bloatware and spyware that windows installs by default then try again.

Also make sure you go in your BIOS max out all current, power and protection limits and and cpu package/platform/power limits long/short.

I can't seem to find the protection limits /platform/power long and short limits..

So is there something to worry about here I just hate to see it like this

Okay boys,

 

I think i found the bloody issue, ICUE which operates my keyboard, RAM and whatsover was eating up my cpu. I went from a score of 4500 to 4990. Is this a better score??

Yes, iCue is known to tank performance, i'd advise either setting RGB in BIOS, or if that doesn't work or too annoying to do then with a program made by the motherboard vendor.
Under "Downloads" then "Utility" there is proper RGB software for your board, it should work with all components, will usually only lack a few tiny features (specific type of ways lights could flash, or say dancing to music or some such feature)
https://www.aorus.com/Z390-AORUS-PRO-rev-10
"RGB Fusion" version B19.1030.1

Pretty much always the motherboard utilities have no impact, while the ones from Case or Fan vendors (corsair doesn't make ram, they just package it) make stuff with too much monitoring going, too much a performance impact, tank the system.  

You might lose some features for the way components can flash in a certain way or order, but personally i'd say performance is more worth it
