Different cinnabench r20 results over time

[thenormalguy134]

So just wondering why my cinnabench results have gone down from 3600 points to 3200 points, on my r5 3600x, btw am on vacation rn so cant provide any troubleshooting or other, just wondering since im about to switch my os over to an ssd and im wondering if that will improve this

One more thing, i have only ajusted my fan curve up bc i can tolarate the sound on the stock cooler, an there is no dust or worse airflow as far as i know

losing 400points is something major, like not enabling XMP profile on RAM f.e.

Probably some background tasks running or the operating system was using resources when you ran the benchmark.

 

Although it would be better if your pc was in front of you. That could help!

well 400 points is a lot to lose what did you do to your pc in last days?

Im going to say this isnt true  my 3800x gets 5200 points on a fresh restart, and after about 2-3 hours its down to around 4800-4900 after tasks and such start up. Its just dependant on whats in the background or if things changed with a bios update etc.

Once you turn a program off, it takes a while for the RAM to let go or rewrite over its blocks and that alone could take away some points. That's why they made those ram optimizer game mode mudaeffas BS. Don't you notice that your first Cinebench stress is usually higher than second and third. RAM and drive utilization matters.

is this like the same day or few months apart?

because if it's the same day then it's not too normal (but can be explained easily)

if it's few months apart then it's normal.

That's the difference between a daily drive and a competitive benching OS. 

The benching OS will be stripped completely naked and the results should always be the same.

When running a daily rig, the results will always vary.

How is this normal? Every where else it says that this only applies to oems because of bad quality parts, my build is custom

Months apart but still, how can a cpus performance degrade overtime, pretty sure that only happends with overclocks

a fresh install of windows would help

could do that when you get your SSD

HDD not so much

SSD? i wouldnt worry about it

 

I had a SSD for about 7 years, with format every 3 months (or more sometimes due to bugged out installs) due to college forcing me to install different junkware on it every semester

it died, but only because i powered off my PC without shutting down while diagnosing something else, not because of dead cells.

 

for a normal user, DW too much about it.
