CPU Perforamce Decrease?

[vagabond139]

I realize cpu's don't decrease in performance so know something else is going on here. I just ran user benchmark, I know its not the most accurate but its the only thing I know the score of from a few weeks ago, and my cpu is only at 54%, well now around 47%, at 4.6Ghz which for sure should be above a average score for the 860K. I remember it being around 65% last time I did or maybe it was close to 70%, point is that there has been a huge decrease in performance. I have actually noticed a decreased in performance in some games so this isn't just a benchmark issue, its a real world issue.

Before anyone asks I know my cpu cooler is capable of handling this overclock with ease and same for my motherboard.

Might just be shit on your computer.

I am using Windows 10 but I was running Windows 10 before when my cpu was performing normally.

I know its weird, it has me completely puzzled about what is going on. I am from PCPP.

Ah, okay then. It's probably something along the way hammering the CPU or the OC isn't very good. Kaveri doesn't care for high OCs, pretty much above 4.3GHz.

I know Kaveri isn't exactly known for being a good overclocker but i have made sure its stable, it has 100% stable before so I don't see how soemthing could chance and nothing else is really using the cpu. I am Vagabond139. I also just downclocked to its stock speed, I am only getting around a freighting33% but am getting roughly the same FPS as I was it being at 4.6Ghz.

Yeah, it's most likely Kaveri being Kaveri with OCs. Sometimes they can use it, other times it makes no benefit.
