So basically my question here is; Why is my CPU sucking so much dick, and how do i make it stop?

I mean a 4 core 4690 clocked at 3.5GHz should never perform twice as bad as a  2 cored 3317U clocked at 1.7GHz, right?

 

My RAM is 16gb of Kingston HyperX Beast

Open CPU-Z See if it is running at 800 MHz.

Take a picture of it while it is running a cinebench benchmark.

Your CPU is just idling. Also, what's the temps of your CPU? 

 

Just saw your system spec. I believe it's the CX430. Change that ASAP. @Rappelin

Dont worry, they are used interchangeably (Even though they shouldnt :P) There should be  asettings tab then reset to optimized defualts, or a option like that
