AMD FX 8350 low scores even with overclock

[Fabi]

Hi guys.
So i installed my new cpu, 8350. Took a benchmark test, it only scored 6.6k score... Even with 4,4 GHz OC. I looked others score, and see they scored 7-8 without OC.. What is likely the problem? :s

What benchmark your running ?
also what is the full spec off your pc ??

3dmark 11 perfomance 720p. I run the same benchmarks as another person ran, he got 8k, i got 6.6..

GA-990fxa-ud3 mobo
650xfx core edition PSU
7950 HD
8350 amd fx

This guy for example, 7.7k with 4.1ghz? I got 6.6 with 4.3 lol

what OS do you have, What memory and is your graphics card overclocked ?

 

[Fabi]

Win8 64bit
8gb kingston 1333 mhz
And i tried with/without overclocking my gpu, still same score.

Whats your voltage at on your processor right now?

 

[Fabi]

default is 1.42... it's too high. so i resetted all settings and reduced to 1.37 instead. don't know why my volts are so high default.

These are my scores without any overclock at all on GPU or CPU.

bump....

anyone..?

you might have gotten a lower score before if you over clock was unstable or cpu was overheating.
might be worth keeping an eye on what temps your are gettings.

the cooler master hyper212 evo as far as i'm concerned is not up to keeping an 8 core cpu cool under full load or when over clocked.

so my guess is it's all about things maybe getting to hot. that assuming you don't have virus scans running in background, updates, etc and your bios, drivers and windows are all up to date

idle 20-30, full load 55 when 4.4ghz

Um about the only thing I could think is maybe your power supply isnt quite up to the task?
I know the 8350 takes a TON of wattage when overclocked as in over 300 watts if I remember right; and I know that 7950 isn't light on the wattage either as in its probably pushing 250-300 under load.


Try manually overclocking back to where you had it. For testing purposes you probably want to disable cool and quiet and check your power settings in windows to make sure nothing is throttling you.
Shouldn't take much voltage to hit 4.4, maybe 1.4 at the most?
Also double check to make sure you don't have any power saving utilities installed and nothing installed alongside the motherboard drivers that would be holding you back. Also make sure you have turbo disabled for your overclock. You want it at a constant 4.4ghz.

Hey, i got the same probleme as urs very low benchmark scores , i got the fx 9370 my cinebench score on stock speed is 6,42 and it should be 7,30 so quite a big difference, Im using the same mother board, 990fxa-ud3 rev 4. I think this motherbord is not as good as others, im just saying.
