UserBenchmark shows under perfoming cpu/gpu

[LethoX]

Built a PC for the first time recently, so I thought I would try the userbenchmark to see how my components are performing compared to others. RAM & SSD is "over" performing, while the GPU is a little behind, but the CPU is way behind. Is there anything I can do about that? I really only noticed low FPS in CSGO, perhaps because CSGO is CPU dependant? Meanwhile the PC works just fine in Witcher 3 & other more demanding games. Also wanna add that my temps look good, CPU has been at 55C at the max. GPU at 72C at the max. Any help is much appreciated, as I'm really a newbie.

Userbenchmark is completely useless and you shouldn't worry about it at all. Use something like Cinebench R20 and look up what score your CPU should do. And for your GPU just play games and look if your FPS are in the right ballpark compared to online reviews.

Userbenchmarks is garbage, don’t use it. Try to find reviews for your hardware that show performance in certain games and compare it to that.

Do you have hyperthreading disabled? Userbenchmark shows your CPU as 3 cores 6 threads, which is obviously wrong since the 10400F is a 6 core 12 thread CPU.

Intel Core i5-10400F-$220

1,885 User benchmarks, average bench 89%

LGA1200, 1 CPU, 3 cores, 6 threads

Base clock 2.9 GHz, turbo 2.9 GHz (avg)

 

 

That or Userbenchmark is even more hopeless than everyone thinks.

I've just checked your results. Looks pretty good to me. I'd bet the other posters did overclock their systems, that would account for the sort of lack in performance.

I just checked in BIO's and hyperthreading is enabled, even in task manager it says 3 cores 6 threads.

Alright, I will try running Cinebench later today. Thanks for the help

Check in the BIOS if cores are disabled. The 10400f is 6 core 12 threads. If task manager is only showing 3 cores enabled then you have a problem.

Your not running in a VM are you?

Not sure what a VM is, I couldn't find anywhere if I had disabled cores in BIOS. Just to make it clear, task manager says "3 cores, 6 logical processors". It should say 6 cores, 12 logical processors right?

Yes. Can you post a screenshot of what Task Manager shows?

You could try resetting the BIOS to default settings and see if that fixes it.

Here's the task manager, by resetting BIOS do you mean resetting all the changes to default?

I reset it to default and task manager still shows 3 cores, 6 logical processors. I downloaded Cinebench and it says the same there too. I should probably not run Cinebench before I get this sorted right?

[LethoX]

I found the solution to the core problem, windows key -> msconfig -> enter - > boot tab - > advanced options - > set it to 6 cores and restarted. Now it shows 6 cores / 12 logical processors. I ran cinebench and got 3176, I've never used Cinebench before so I got no clue if that's good or bad.
