Can a cpu give me less score if it's unstable? even tho it never crashed with stable test in 72 hours? getter lower score on my 4790k 4.7ghz 1.3v than some people with it at 4ghz and 4.4ghz
or maybe my ram overclock interferes my cpu overclock?
I looked at the benchmark and my Avg. Single Core Mixed Speed is above average. My Avg. Quad Core Mixed Speed is below average (even under stock clock score), Avg. Multi Core Mixed Speed is also above average.

So how come my quad score is below? doesn't make any sense 🙁

as you see on this picture my 4.7ghz is only scoring 2% higher than a 4ghz in quad score
EDIT: Here is scores from another user with 4.7ghz. My quad score is nowhere near that.

Make sure ur running on all 4 cores aswell and make sure hyper threading is enable, its possible you could have turned off hyperthreadying by accident, that caan dramatically change performance numbers
Answer is no to stability, i have a world record with my 5960x on liquid cooling, my cou was stable at 4.6ghz and unstable at 4.7, although it could complete a benchmark at 4.7 when it felt liek it and my score would also be higher. I can tell you that instability wont cause a lower score but other than that im not sure
 

if I look at a benchmark I did some months ago I have way higher quad score back then :S and also im having very high issues with my fps on 20man deathmatch in csgo

 


It is possible you put too much voltage on ur cpu and have damaged it
 

im at 1.31v stable so that's not too high

 

I did 1.5v volts once for a quick benchmark could that have damaged it? was for max 5minutes
 
No 1.5 volts won't kill a cpu unless u keep it there for too long, people with world records are at 1.7-1.8 volts, so im not quite sure why ur cpu at 1.3 volts is bad. Id just replace it, not the answer you might be looking for but i would honestly
