Sort out your fan curves and pump speeds (if aio), makes a big difference.
Close everything down except for cb2024 and maybe 1 program for monitoring temps.
And don't overclock, at least initially.
You want to know how good your silicon is.
Glad to hear I don't need a bigger radiator.
Cb23 I would never hit the 33,000 for multi core (or whatever it was)
No OC on CPU.
Just need to get the cooling right, makes a big difference for this benchmark.
How bout that strix 3080
By the way, I am a new user, and can't check for myself, butt can anyone tell me if my system specs are showing up?
Would greatly appreciate.
Are you thermal throttling with the 280?
Nope.
Not once.
However, I have Lian Li SL 140's bolted to the radiator instead of the standard NZXT fans and have the fan curves tuned very carefully.
Linear until 50-70 depending on the fan noise you are willing to tolerate, then full bore 100% once temps exceed 65-70C.
And I wiped the pre applied NZXT crap off the pump head and used a decent amount of Arctic MX-6, it's the best thermal paste I've used.
Decent price too for AUD.

Try to make a new OC profile, use "default" for stock clock behaviour and then just change the loadline setting for now - the majority of your temp benefits are coming from that. The DVID isn't doing a whole lot at -0.010 anyways.
See if that gives you stock performance + the temp benefits.
Your score should be in the low 1700's even with the lower temps.

This is crammed into an ITX case with a $40 peerless assassin air cooler so there's definitely some BIOS shenanigans afoot.
For sure, or a crazy OC or else that image has been manipulated.
Are you thermal throttling with the 280?
Edit: just read no throttling...
Hmm... sometimes these benchmarks set their priority level "below normal" that could also have an effect.
Did you try my suggestions?
Oh yeah, I've also installed a contact frame to maximise pump contact with IHS (Internal Heat Spreader), which is the lid that is bound to the CPU.
Open your task bar and make sure there aren't any little apps taking up resources. Kill them off.
What are you using for cooling?
I've got an open air test bench config at the moment.
Make sure that the radiator Is higher than the pump if you're using an aio, or it won't work nearly as efficiently due to the pump and hot air/vapour working against gravity .
Have you set your fan curves? Checked them?
Pump speeds?
Ambient room temp?
Reapply thermal paste?
Re install cb?
