CPU CINEBENCH SCORE LOW

[Kafilda]

Hello, I recently upgraded my i5 4690k to a ryzen 3600. I ran cinebench r15 and compared my results to others and seen my score was way lower. I got a 1478 on my best run and most people were well over 1500. I downloaded all the drivers and I cant seem to find out the problem. There is one thing I ran into when installing the new parts. In my old build my i5 only used one 4pin cpu connector. The Msi x570-a pro has a 8pin and a 4pin connector as shown in the picture below. I only plugged the CPU_PWR1 cable and not the CPU_PWR2 cable. I only had 1 4+4 pin cpu connector cable already installed in my pc and I've never seen anything over an 8 pin connector.

Thanks.

Another thing I want to add is I downloaded AMD over drive and tried to run the software and it blue screens my computer every time.

power connector is not the problem. Check your memory settings, whether you enabled XMP or not. You should also check with Ryzen Master whether the CPU is boosting as high as others get.

the higher score can be caused by better cooling, faster ram or overclocking applied to the cpu

 

what you use to overclock a ryzen cpu is ryzen master, if you dont overclock from bios

 

by the way, that is not alot lower, alot lower would be 100 points lower

 

remember that if you have alot of stuff runnning in the background like antivirus, steam, epic store, a web browser and many other things the result will be negatively affected

I just ran r15 on mine, no overclocking of any kind done and its doing 1352, so mine would be considered a lot lower lol

And now I just used the auto overclocking built into Ryzen Master and got a 1527, so maybe you just need to tinker a little bit. Also I noticed you are running 3000 ram, far below the sweet spot of 3600 for the new gen stuff. I mean I am only running 3200 and am kind of annoyed because I only bought it 2 months ago

I would be curious to know what your cpu clock speeds and temps are while running R15. Mine does like 1620-1630 with my bios at default settings. I have 3200 speed ram though. I am swapping my case out tomorrow though so if I think about it I will throw in my old ram that was 3000 and see if that changes anything. I did some testing before with ram speeds and it didn't seem to effect it much but I can verify it if i remember. I am going to be running a bunch of tests anyway to check temps after the switch.

 

I can think of a whole list of things that might effect it though.

 

What motherboard and bios are you using?

Upon some further investigation I found the culprit. When i was playing games my monitors would randomly shutoff and the computer would reboot. So i got curious and started to monitor the temp of the cpu.I noticed it was riding over 80c in games and even got close to 88c. I ran a stress test on the cpu and within 1-2 mins it was over 90c and the computer would restart. I'm using the stock cooler i made sure it wasn't loose to the mobo and it seems to be on fine. I ran cinebench again and the temps ran up into the upper 80s. So im guessing the cpu is thermal throttling.

What cooler are you using

Throttling would have been one of my guesses which is why I was curious about core speed and temps.

 

I am running a H100i pro AIO water cooler and at the time I wrote that it was in a aero cool mid tower being used as an exhaust on the top with two 120mm fans on the front for intakes. Now its in a lian li 011 dynamic with the radiator as an intake with six extra fans, 3 intake on the bottom and 3 exhaust on the top.

 

I just did three runs of cinebench real quick and it was 1630-1638 at 66c under load. Ambient temp in the room is 81 F.

 

You don't need an AIO or a huge case with a ton of fans though. Just a decent case with good air flow and a good aftermarket air cooler should work fine. My temps before in the smaller case were only like 70c under a load most times, unless it was really hot in here. With a 40 dollar deepcool air cooler my temps were still under 75c most of the time under a load.

 

Check out this thread, it might help you some.

 

He also posted some links to a new chipset driver release and stuff. I tried it and it works fine, I wasn't having any trouble with the old drivers though. Also keep checking for updated bios versions for your board, if they don't have new ones yet they should be coming soon.

Oh, I didn't get a chance to tes the ram differences, sorry. My swap over took WAY longer than it should have so I didn't get the chance to mess with it.

 

Oh, my power just went out! Thank god for back up power supplies lol.
