The stock cooler is adequate - while an OC on the GPU would produce a bit more heat, it wouldn't explain the score halving.

Run timespy with the MSI afterburner on screen display active,

and showing frequencies for all 6 cores. See what happens on the CPU test to the frequencies.

You'd expect frequencies in the region of 4000MHz, give or take.
What do you mean regarding the stock cooler?

The stock cooler is fine for cooling the CPU.

It is unlikely the GPU's overclock is causing extreme thermal throttling to the point that the CPU is massively dropping frequencies because of the extra heat in the system.

I don't know why the GPU OC is apparently causing the CPU to lower performance, but I'm saying I doubt it is thermal throttling.

My gpu isn’t overclocked wym
