I think my pc is under preforming and i need advice

[Simbarrr]

I'm relatively new to computers and was bored and decided to run a benchmark on Novabench. I turns out that my cpu is preforming blow average and i have an overall score of 2725. I'm scared it's bottlenecking or i haven't installed the correct drivers. Can you guys please help me understand what is happening.

 

My pc specs are

 

Intel Core i7

 

EVGA RTX 2080 ti Black Edition

 

Ballistix Sport LT 16GB

 

Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD

 

Gigabyte Z370 HD3

 

EVGA 750 watt BQ

 

I have all stock fans and thank you in advance

What i7 is it specifically? 

[Simbarrr]

sorry but..... why are you benching with this?

[FL4XY]

Never used this benchmark, but I'm downloading it and will give it a whirl (maybe try using a more common CPU benchmark?)

 

What did you get specifically for the CPU based score?

i've never benchmarked before so i picked the first one and it looked pretty professional

I got just over 1000 with my overclocked and water-cooled i7-6700K, and looking at Geekbench 5, the 8700 has the same single-core score, and roughly 30% higher in multi-core score compared to the 6700K

 

Given that 1338 is roughly 30% more than 1000, I'd say you're right where you should be in terms of performance.

alright thanks i was just scared because it said you did below average on your cpu but it probably nothing

Yeah.... well you didnt build the machine to run Novabench i assume so why not test the machine in what you actually made it for?

wdym i dont understand, what benchmarking thing should i use

did you build the machine to only run benchmark software?

Yeah, I'd recommend you use more "traditional" benchmarks in the future.

 

Examples: 

 

3D Mark Timespy/Firestrike

Cinebench 15/20

Unigine Heaven / Valley

He means that you shouldn't only be running benchmarks in any case. You made the PC for something? Probably Gaming?

 

He's saying test in games and see what you're getting as well.

also how do you make the hardware specification thing

btw how do you make the hardware specification thing

Under account settings and then signature. Then just add whatever text you want. Most people use their build specs and whatnot.

Try to replace the thermal paste or get those really good performing air coolers form cryorig

[Simbarrr]

alright i was planning on getting new fans
