Hello I was benchmarking my fx 6300 after increasing the multiplyer in the BIOS and for some reason once testing it on cinebench my GPU got an astonishingly low score of 79 CB which compared to other fx 6300's I saw was incredibly low like sempron level low...So I was wondering what went wrong did I accidentally underclock it in the BIOS ? Or could it be thermal throttling ?

It's cool. Just take it slow and watch your temps. I suggest you download hwmonitor to watch your temps while you bench to make sure your chip does not get too hot.
