S scandrews Honorable Jan 30, 2018 84 6 10,535 Jul 10, 2019 #1 I just finished a new build, and ran Cinebench R15. I have a 9600k, overclocked to 5.2 (using the Asus AI overclocker). My score in Cinebench was 1191. Is that good?

As an aside, I wouldn't use any motherboard auto overclocking tools. They generally set the voltage too high, which can also increase temperatures and power draw. Overclocking is best done manually in the BIOS. OR, you can try out Intel's new auto-OC tool. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/processors/core/performance-maximizer.html Upvote 0 Downvote
