[SOLVED] Userbenchmark My cpu score confused me.

[Deltaeagle]

Hello all,

I just did Userbenchmark test and it showed up, my CPU is below average. I wondering why that happened. I did this test 3 times and 2 of 3 times my cpu reached only ; turbo 3.8 GHz (avg) and 1 time reached 3.9. Why it isn't going up? I haven't touched the bios, except for XMP profile. I just selectec XMP 1 profile.

And second thing that confuses me, when I open HWmonitor, my cpu cores seems like working around 4800mhz, isn't that mean 4.8Ghz? If it is why would my cpu runs at turbo while idling?

List your complete System Specifications including make and model of Every component.
That is the only way anyone will be able to give you an accurate reply.
PS
Use HWinfo instead of HWMonitor because HWMonitor is known to give inaccurate readings on many systems.

I tried on CPU-Z too it shows same thing.

What Power Plan are you using in Windows ???
If you have High Performance set then the CPU won't downclock and will stay at Max clocks all the time.
With the Balanced Power Plan it will downclock and only boost up the clocks on cores as needed.

PS
Please post a screenshot of CPU tab from CPUz.
You need to upload it to

Ah, then thats why my clocks are banging up on 4900s on idle haha, i just changed it to high performance in order to see if its the case for low benchmark. I just noticed weird thing. My cpu was running on 4900mhz on idle (thanks to high performance setting) but then i start to benchmark its reducing to 3600mhz, as soon as benchmark finishes it reaches to 4900s again. Now i set my power settings balanced, i got 800mhz on idle. I think that benchmark program limits my CPU somehow?

There you go that seems to have fixed it.
And yes a Benchmark might push your CPU enough for it to boost up partially and not need to use the full boost clocks.

Thanks for the info and help!
