#Cinebench score full#

My best guess is that your CPU is throttling and it is not maintaining full speed for the entire test. I ran Cinebench R23 and maintained 4700 MHz for the entire test. I also went into the BIOS and set the memory to DDR4-2133 like you are using.

To try to come up with a fair comparison, I used msconfig to limitВ my 10850K to 8 cores and 16 threads, same as your 9900K. Were you monitoring this for the entire benchmark? What monitoring software were you using? Watch the Effective Clock data in HWiNFO. Long (PL1) and Short (PL2) Duration Package Power Limits My Asus BIOS has the power limit settings in the Ai Tweaker section. Keep the Limit Reasons window open while testing to watch for any PL1 or PL2 powerВ limit throttling. The more power you allow an Intel CPU to consume, the faster it will run. Watch the MHz and CPU multiplier on the main ThrottleStop screen. You can use ThrottleStop to make changes to the power limits while the CPU is fully loaded with yourВ Cinebench testing. The CPU will only use as much power that it needs so setting these high is not going to turn your CPU into an instant oven. I set both power limits as high as they can go, 4095W, so I never have to worry that they will interfere with maximum performance. If you have good cooling, you can either go into the BIOS and increase the PL1 and PL2 turbo power limits or you can click on the TPL button in ThrottleStop and adjust these two power limits that way. If you run two Cinebench tests back to back, the CPU will spend even less time at full boost and it will spend more time throttling along at 4200 MHz or less. That is why your Cinebench scores are not great. The MULTI column shows slightly less than 42 so the CPU has dropped from 4700 MHz to less than 4200 MHz. The CPU is being forced to slow down so it does not exceed 95W. That is the default long term power limit for a 9900K. The far right column shows the reason for throttling. When you start testing, the CPU is fully loaded and it is using the full 47.00 multiplier like it should be using.
