Lower Benchmark Score After Overclock?

[DisconnectedYT]

So i should have asked a long time ago but i guess ill just ask now.

Why when i overclocked my CPU from 3.2Ghz to 5Ghz did i lose points on my benchmark?

Is it a problem with the CPU or the software?

You may be thermal throttling.

check your temps and you core clock speed during the benchmark.

Wasn't it determine in your other thread that you weren't actually overclocked to that speed?  You were using task manager to read your OC, which is not what you want to be doing.  That might explain your results.

Yeah not all overclock can give higher result i both play on my g3258 on a 4.2ghz and 4.7ghz gaming on csgo and dota 2 really did not show any difference just higher temps so forget getting high fps on games just make sure you have a perfect fps avg, min and max always watch out for setting and some do make bad result. avoid doing multiple things on your g3258 like playing games while a google chrome tab is open like 10 tabs dont use any program that do task on the back ground, this is the only problem in having a dual core cpu limiting your self but to the result i am getting i almost beat i5-4460 on my g3258+212x on CS:GO/Dota 2 Reborn temps were the same and performance are gain was not even close to a %50 boost on a True Quad Core.

It was running at 70 degrees celcius and it got a score of 680 and after oc it got 645
