3700x doesn't improve results in Cinebench R20
3700x doesn't improve results in Cinebench R20
Hello, I just completed assembling my first PC and updated the drivers and BIOS. I tested some performance tests and noticed my CPU wasn't ramping up in Cinebench R20, consistently around 3600MHz with a score of 4100. After reinstalling the chipset driver, all cores started boosting to 4050MHz throughout. Once I reinstalled the drivers again and reset BIOS settings, my performance improved significantly—reaching a 4800 score in Cinebench R20. I’m still trying to figure out how to keep the CPU at its boosted frequency during testing and return it to base speed during regular use. Since I’m new to this, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, your CPU temperature stayed well below 70°C.
Specs: CPU - 3700x GPU - ASUS Strix 2080 Super RAM - Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 (DOCP) Motherboard - Asus TUF Gaming X570 OS - Windows 10 latest BIOS - version v.1407 Cooling - D15 with front and exhaust fans in meshify chassis
To clarify, every time I reinstall the chipset driver, all cores run at 4050MHz, but when I press reset in Ryzen Master, they stop boosting during Cinebench. I just reinstalled the drivers, restored BIOS to defaults, switched to DOCP, and now I’m seeing a solid single-core boost (around 4300-4400MHz) with a Cinebench score near 490, while multi-core performance tops out at about 3950MHz with a score of 4642—about 200 points short of expectations.
