I'm imagining two potential issues, possibly with your CPU or your RAM.

A. What speed is your RAM running at? Is it 1 x 16 GB or 2 x 8 GB?

B. Is your 9700k operating at stock clocks or have you overclocked it? What kind of CPU cooler are you using?

It’s operating at stock clock, 3.6 ghz, I think. I have 2 x 8gb DDR4 1070 MHz ram

Ok, I think both your RAM and your CPU are contributing to your low score.

Your RAM speeds are incredibly slow. Somewhere around 3000 MHz is considered good these days.

You're leaving a LOT of CPU performance on the table by not overclocking your 9700k. I have a 9700k as well (paired with a 280 mm AIO) and I have it overclocked rock solid at 5.1 GHz on all 8 cores at once.

You are insanely right, not only did I overclock my CPU but my RAM as well and damn. I would've never known this if I didn't ask. The results speak for themselves
