What's an average Cinebench R23 multi core score for a 5800X3D? I ask because I just popped one in my system, I'm using a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU cooler and I applied Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Paste, I heard these chips run pretty warm so before even booting to desktop for the first time I updated to the latest BIOS then applied the undervolt in the video linked at the very bottom making sure to enable both D.O.C.P and ResizeBAR, everything else in the BIOS is stock.

Now my friend has some expensive Noctua (cant remember the exact model) cooler yet his 5800X3D sits idle at over 40c, he said the chip can get up into the 80's running Cinebench and some games. My 5800X3D idles at around 30c and the highest I seen it go running a Cinebench multi core test was 67c.

I'm just wondering How is this £30 CPU cooler managing to out perform my friends Noctua cooler that cost him over £100?

Does a Cinebench multi core score of 13679 sound about right or is something wrong hence the reason why its running much cooler than my friends?

Well I reset my BIOS then followed a different undervolt tutorial (linked below) applying a negative 30 on all cores as well as editing some other CPU voltage settings shown in the video and my Cinebench R23 multi core score went up by 859 points some how from 13679 to 14538 and its running even cooler, if I remember correctly the CPU didn't even pass 60c running a Cinebench R23 multi core score test.

Processor itself should perform Cinebench R23 on the level of 5700x (not3D) so scores look good. Considering you have such low temps,try enabling PBO too.
Just as reference, my "ordinary" 5800x was hitting about 15260 score when optimized.
