I7 6700k underperforming?

[laushik]

I've oced my i7 6700k to 4.6 GHz with 1.34v and LLC set to high and temps never exceed 66c with my h100i GTX. The real question is that in cinebench r15 I only get 963cb but I see other people that are also at 4.6 GHz and the 1000+ cb. Why is this happening?

 

system specs:

 

gtx 1070

gskill rip jaws v 16gb 3000 mhz

evga 650 gq

 gigabyte z170 hd3

Do you have things going on in the background? Having tasks open like chrome, afterburner, and a couple other background apps can decrease my 5820Ks score over 100 points (depending on how many programs i have running)

yes i have afterburner and a couple of other programs running in the background, but isn't that ram dependent? It shouldn't affect CPU performance.

Memory and CPU cache impact Cinebench R15 scores greatly.  Make sure you tweak both before running Cinebench.  Remember, most people don't post their worst scores for comparison so those scores are probably the best that they could squeeze out at the time for that given CPU speed.

 

Once you've got your mem and cache tweaked, rerun Cinebench with Priority set to Real Time in Task Manager.  This will boost your score quite a bit, but you will not see the image being rendered as the test runs so don't assume that it crashed.
