Question Good Cinebench Score?

[thebestgamer011]

I have an Intel Core i5-10600k and I ran a multicore test on cinebench r23 and the score was 8435. Is this normal for a stock i5-10600k? I have an MSI z490 gaming edge wifi motherboard and a Corsair H100i Elite Capellix XT AIO. My wattage gets up to around 100 watts. Originally I had the priority set to below normal and set it to realtime because I took somebody's joke on a post seriously and had to restart the PC but it has since been set to normal. I am pretty sure I ran it again after changing it back to normal and it was around the same score as always. It only gets up to 64 Celsius running it for 10 minutes and a surprising 26-30 Celsius at idle. A while back I ran UserBenchmark and it was fine but their scoring system sucks.

Various sites are telling me around 10.5K is where an i5-10600K should be at, but this video is getting more or less the same score you are. And I see a few other videos that get somewhere in between.

I wouldn't really worry about it unless performance in things you actually do are below expectations.

Those sites are probably all of the people with that processor that have ran cinebench and since it is a K model cpu, people are going to overclock it, but the people that haven't get a score of 9000.

Most of these sites didn't give the impression they were overclocking the CPU, but they probably aggregate data from somewhere else.

So here's one from a site that wouldn't do that which reports about 10K: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-i5-10600K-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.467666.0.html

However I did find another review that has a comparison to the i5-10600K, but reports 9000: https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/leo-waldock/intel-core-i5-11600k-review/4/

Given the wide range of scores I'm seeing, I'm guessing two things are at play:

• They used different coolers with different performance
• They used motherboards with a different default turbo boosting behavior that actually isn't the default Intel specified
