Question Low performance with i5-9600k

[Btforeman33]

Hi, so I finally finished my first PC though it seems like the CPU is underperforming. Through all of the benches I've out it through, specifically multicore lags behind. In some games, for example COD Cold War, stock performance I've seen should get around 100fps though I only achieve about 35-50fps. I can add other benchmarks per request but I have a sneaking suspicion it's probably due to my motherboard.

Other info: Temperatures never exceed 60°C which rules out throttling I think. Also I've ran the PC for a couple months almost 24/7 as a server rig so I wasn't sure if that would degrade the performance at all.

Specs:
i5-9600k
Gigabyte b365m
2x8 TEAMGROUP 2666mhz
Nvidia 3060 ti
500W Thermaltake TR2
Coole Master Hyper 212 EVO

Look in the power plan settings and see if you have a high performance option.

Clean off another 30GB from the OS disk.

Run ubm and post a link.

Your cpu results will be compared to results from people who overclock their 9600k. I would expect a non overclocked CPU to return below average results.

Are you certain? I've looked into the stock clock benchmarks and they've scored about ~6500 on a stock clock I think.

When you run ubm it's important to.

Reboot.
Wait a few mins.
Run ubm with the browser closed.

If you don't do that the numbers can come out a little wonky.

Run ubm again.

Gigabyte B365M DS3H Performance Results - UserBenchmark
Apologies for that, I didn't realize background had got so high. I'm currently running the benchmark through remote desktop hoping it won't have too much of an effect on the benchmark.

It seemed like the CPU performed up to par with this bench but why are the Cinebench stats not up as they should be? Could it actually be the power supply?

What's this remote desktop stuff and what happened to the gpu?

It might be best to wait until you can get in front of the machine and then run ubm proper.

Don't muddy the water by changing the test conditions.

I'm not physically at the computer at the moment so I ran the benchmark remotely, apparently GPU benchmarks are unable to run wirelessly but I will be able to test the computer fully once I get home later this evening.

If you are sure that a stock cpu would get that score and you are more than 5% different it might be worth looking into why. However, typically benchmarks for CPU’s that can be overclocked will show a stock cpu as below average.

We just gonna keep ignoring the Tier E garbage PSU?
