CPU Not performing as expected

ajb101 · Jul 27, 2016

Hi there,

I was discussing, in the wrong place on the share your cpu-z screens thread, a problem with my CPU benchmark results:

My initial picture was this:

I have since been informed I selected the wrong reference, so here is the correct bench with the what I believe to be the correct reference:

Here is a link to my validator page:

http://valid.x86.fr/6xfw27

Does anyone know how I can go about correcting the multi-thread bench on the CPU or do I have defective hardware?

Kind Regards,
A

yeah its better with own thread and i hope tpu members chime in to help.
what win version you have?

alucasa · Jul 27, 2016

What's wrong with it?

Bill_Bright · Jul 27, 2016

I don't se anything wrong with it either. You have 3.5GHz processor running at 3.99907GHz. Note the bench CPU is a different CPU.

ajb101 · Jul 27, 2016

Yes its a lesser CPU and yet mine benches less than it.

Look at the other picture from CPU-Z. That's a ~34% difference compared to a 3960X.

I still don't see anything wrong. No unit forms exactly the same and there could be countless factors influencing the result.

silkstone · Jul 27, 2016

Seems like pretty weak multi-thread performance.

Here's mine for reference:

I've never benched with CPU-Z before so have no idea how good a test it is.
Maybe you want to try with other programs? Cinibench? then you can compare more.

TO the OP please list all your system specs include as much you can and we may be able to find a week piont or bottle neck or at least give some sound advice.

I'm going to assume this is a new build, did you install all the MOBO drivers and what nots?

Welcome to TPU!!!

Well, there definitely is something wrong with this. 2/3 of the performance of a 3960X with a 3970X is something I would say is not working as intended.

If his computer is running something else, software bugs or whatever. There is something wrong.

I provided a link which has all of the details.

The specs seems to be pretty high end and I would think it would excel nicely on multi-threaded benches.... So have you loaded all the mobo drivers and what nots? Did you install the drivers in the correct order?

INSTG8R · Jul 27, 2016

This isn't the first thread where that benchmark has been way off. Try another benchmark. I think you'll find its just CPU-Z

Nokiron · Jul 27, 2016

As suggested before, try Cinebench aswell.

HaKN ! · Jul 27, 2016

Hmm looks like your CPU is being held back by something in BIOS..

little cat · Jul 27, 2016

Or run Pass Mark 8.0 and compare :

ajb101 · Jul 27, 2016

On Pass Mark 8 I get 12938 for the CPU score.

GoldenX · Jul 27, 2016

Check if Windows Update or any other service is eating performance, and try at stock settings to see if the motherboard is deciding to lower the clocks for any reason.

little cat · Jul 27, 2016

Seems fine . 12656 is the average Pass Mark result of this processor

Ferrum Master · Jul 27, 2016

leave it on ice for a while. I will be home from work after 6hours... IMHO I suspect those are temps at fault.

Your RAM also is working at lower rubbish speed not the XMP profile.

little cat · Jul 27, 2016

He could enable the XMP profile in BIOS for 2400MHz . The mobo supports it . But I suppose it is a CPU-Z bug

Edit : a screen shot of the BIOS

ajb101 · Jul 27, 2016

How do I sort the XMP piece out in the bios?

ajb101 · Jul 27, 2016

OK, I've enabled XMP, and now the bench on CPU-Z is coming in at 9000 for multi-thread, thanks for you help chaps. Now to figure out why my 2x 980 Ti's in SLi are giving worse results in Star Citizen then when I disable SLi!

I guess Pass Mark routines exclude the impact of other PC components whereas CPU-Z thake them into account for the score
