I5 10400 peaking only at 3.9-4.1 Ghz in Cinebench R23 with B560 board.

I stressed test the 10400 using Cinebench R23 with single-core and multi-core tests, using HWInfo to check the clockspeed and temps, and both tests won't stress the CPU beyond 4.1 Ghz. Apparently, my B560 board has a power limit issue which throttles the CPU. Is that the case with mine? Also, I'm using the Intel stock cooler as of now too, and the temps are at the high 80s. Is it a temperature issue then? I have a case with decent airflow but only one fan as exhaust.

 

The PC is gonna be used for office work and AutoCAD for one of my dad's employees. I'm not sure how much it will affect work, but the loss of 200 Mhz from max turbo boost is rather annoying.

Well yeah you picked the lowest end b560 board out there that has no cooling on the vrms. However your clocks are pretty normal as all core boost is limited to 4ghz.

What was temperature when you did your cinebench testing.

I am expecting high 80s Intel stock cooler may not be handle that.

I wasn't too focused on checking it, but it definitely was at the high 80s.

Ok then,The issue is mix of both high temps and also underpowered vrms.

Honestly speaking for office work 200mhz difference won't be noticeable but in autocad it might show(again very less chance).

Will a new cooler fix that? Maybe a few more fans?

No the max all core turbo is 4ghz you are right in line with how it is mean to perform even a little better.

It might not solve the problem but its better to use better cooler than the stock cooler

Yes for all core load 4ghz is appropriate.

It's normal. I have the same CPU. Check this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/jyrgg1/i5_10400f_max_ghz/

The multi-core test was peaking just below 4.0 Ghz, so apparently that's fine and normal. The single-core test, however, peaked at 4.1 Ghz and didn't go beyond that. Is that normal?

  • 2 weeks later...

Cinebench R23 is an abnormally demanding workload that IIRC makes heavy use of AVX2. I would say that peaking at 4.1GHz for the single core test is normal, if you're using the stock cooler, which certainly isn't designed with synthetic benchmarks in mind.
