I just did another test and came up with about 5500 at the end, but I checked the individual score for the CPU and it said 11,000 something. Was I reading the wrong score?
Plus I turned all my fans on highest and the temps never reached past 75c.
I am thinking of getting a better aftermarket one yeah, i probably won't be OCing, or if I do it'll only be a small amount. I mainly want the quietest CPU cooler that I can find that would be suitable for a small/non-existent OC.
11k is about right for the cpu score stock
Was it not you who had the CPU running at 1.4somethingcrazyvoltage a little while back? Is this a new CPU?
yes 11k looks indeed better, 75C shows that offcourse.
trow a better cooler on there to start with. idk your budget, but maybe a Noctua NH-U14S?.
Hmm ok, I'll have a look at that noctua one. i was also looking at the NH-L12 earlier I think.
Yeah I was but that 1.7 was actually just the CPU input Voltage and not direct Vcore like Hardware monitor said..
You basicly have terrible cooling.
But also a terrible chip if you ask me. You definitely not won the sillicon lottery. and if you had ever suffer from 1.7V core voltage, i assume it definitely took some of its lifespan.
i would definitely try to RMA it. Because even on stock cooler, it shouldn´t be that terrible. i would just complain, that whatever you do, it overheats like crazy on stock and throttles.
Maybe they send you a new one.
just an example of the difference in score from hard disk speed from my old worn out mushkin ssd to my samsung xp941

955 point increase from just disk speed for overall score

and another 527 from testing a 4 gig ramdrive as the disk
Cool just making sure this was not the same problem. But yeah like Angel says below get some nice cooling and if still no change then RMA. A good cooler is always something you should have any way so it is not a pointless expense.
Hmm well that sucks :(
Well at least I know what's going on now, thanks to everyone who helped me out!
why don't you have the stock cooler? I would just upgrade or try another cooler first say a cheap Cooler Master 212 Hyper or evo it's only 30 bucks. Anything higher in terms of price and preformance would be Noctua and Watercooling AIO.
+1
That CPU should not be hitting these temps, that's the bottom line. Something is wrong with it. Also the benchmark scores differ way too much. I think RMA is the only solution.
