Question CPU underperforming in single thread tests CPU-Z test - Low single core score

[nendytree21]

Hey guys. Thanks in advance for any help

First of all my cpu is at 52c during CPU-Z benchmark. (during aida up to 63c)
According to HWinfo my mobo and vrm are around 50c
Windows power management profile is set to Ultimate Performance

I was noticing a linear drop of fps in UE5 thought it was just UE being UE, but last night it was starting to really bother me. I tried to do a single core bench-

---During the CPU-Z Benchmark my cpu boosts to 4.32GHz--
In CPU-Z I get ~414 score
6 months ago when I bought it I was getting ~512 (Im pretty sure it boosted to 4.3 with that score too)
Last night I did some tinkering in bios, and tighten the ram latency a bit-
Now I get ~434
(Ofc no background processes etc)

LatencyMon ~80µs while CPU-Z benchmark and browser open
Windows 11

Specs:
CPU:------Intel core i5-10500 base 3.1GHz - Turbo 4.5GHz
Mobo:----H410M S2H V2 Gigabyte
RAM:-----Kllisre 2x16Gb 3200mhz (yes its at 2666mhz cuz of mobo, yea I know aliexpress ram, never got a bsod since using it)
Storage: -NVMe Kingston KC2500 1TB SSD (it has dram)
GPU :-----Eagle RTX 3060ti
PSU:------EVGA 750W GQ
Not sure exact case, but its really airflowed and I hope temps are not the cause here?


Im really confused, and Im here open to learn something new and hopefully we could fix this together. Thanks for reading 😀

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Would you be soo kind to run userbenchmark (https://www.userbenchmark.com/) and paste the link to the complete results here?

Be sure to have no other app running please.

PD: You didn'tmention what kind of cpu cooler you have?, nor if you tried to run the UE5 game with the PC case side panel off?

I think you have an issue here.
Here a I5-10500 should do 515 in the CPU-Z bench test.

It will vary a bit because others may have better ram, but not by all that much.
I can't explain it except that possibly you have a fake i5-10500. Possibly a i5-10100.

I might add that many consider userbenchmark to be useless.
