so for some reason my cpu does less cb than it should

[yassir560]

my friend asked me to run a few cinebench tests a few hours ago,i did but the score was alot lower than it should be for my cpu.i have an i5 6500 3.2Ghz and (idk if this matters in) a gtx 1060 6gb,the best score i got on my i5 was 515 cb but that was a stretch,the rest of the tests i did got 450-490 and acording to other tests it should be doing around 550 and higher but its not.i didnt have anything else running but my rainmeter and wallpaper engine but since i had cinebench maximised that shouldnt matter in,my friend told me this could be because i have to change my cpu from normal or powersaving to optimal on easy mode on the bios.problem is i cant find that setting nor do i know what easy mode is (im on a gigabyte g1 sniper gaming b7 mobo version f4 if that helps),sorry for any grammar mistakes and thanks for any help

Inside Windows you should enable "high performance" power plans - and CB can be impacted by your RAM speeds/timings.

What RAM do you have? (quantity and timings...)?

single slot of 8gb of ddr4 ram,speed is 2133MHZ
its already on the high performance power plan

Utilizing single channel could impact things - look at the scores you're comparing yours to. What are the hardware differences? 1x8GB will always perform worse than 2x4GB.

Tighter timings help in CB too, what RAM do you have specifically?

How do your temperatures look?

In Windows go to "Control Panel > Power Options > Create a power plan". Select the "High Performance" option. See what that does.

already done

reboot machine, look in your toolbar, turnoff/exit all unneeded apps, pause anti virus, then run test again

that was already the case i already had all apps closed and my av paused,i only had my rainmeter and wallpaper engine running and even then it was covered by the cinebench,even if those did counter in the test results it wouldnt remove 50-60 cb off my cpu,maybe 10 cb at most

Look over this page and see what benchmarks other users are getting with their i5 6500. I's based on 41,458 user benchmarks.

i dont need to benchmark my gpu whatsoever,and i've checked the scores from cinebench and that's fairly enough for me

Now i'm confused as to what you are saying, and/or asking. Maybe The Paladin can help you further.

Please do not start two threads for the same question/problem ---

Be more patient next time and wait a bit longer for replies!

 

[yassir560]

I had no idea that i made two threads,im sorry

 

[yassir560]

i understand that having a single memory slot occupied can impact things,i simply doubt that it can make a 50cb difference.im gonna check other systems this morning (seeing spec differences i mean,ive seen how the card should perform normally) and my temps average around 40-50 c when i only have my desktop open,my fans are set to performance mode incase you might need to know that.i think its kingston ram but i actually doubt that my ram is the issue,im mostly sure on it being related to my cpu being set to power savings or normal mode on easy mode,see i saw this setting a while back but since then the app center for gigabyte updated and i cannot find where the setting would be now,maybe the bios on the boot up screen but i gave no idea where to find it on there if thats the case,i'd rather avoid trying to change settings that i dont know of and well i have no idea how to access this setting to simply change it to optimal mode so that the cpu uses its full power

No worries - you won't be banned for one strike (only joking! - :lol:

 

[rocktalkrock]

On what are you basing your belief that this system should be doing around 550 in Cinebench? I'm not that familiar with Cinebench myself.

 

[The Paladin]

I would try other benchmarking system Cinebench is one, and if you had two twin, identical system side by side, one would have a difference in performance then the other, each hardware is in fact not identical. chipsets, cpu etc. are all based on the silicone lottery, especially when the cpu is concerned. (why some people can overclock identical cpus to 4.5 and the other to 4.7 or higher. the same rule applied to motherboard because they are riddled with "chips" on them that are affected in the same matter.

sorry but I think your overthinking your results.
