[SOLVED] Userbenchmark says my PC is underperforming

[Michal1012]

I have a gaming pc what was built by a website that specializes in PC building here in Norway where I live. I had this PC for about half a year, but I haven't run a benchmark until now. After taking the benchmark, it says that my PC is performing bellow expectations (26th percentile). I must admit that Im not a huge PC nerd when it comes to hardware, so therefor Im asking here for help incase there is something that can be done to improve the performance. I have attached some screenshots to this posts so you guys can better understand my problem

My PC specs:

The memory isn't running at it's rated speed so you need to make sure the memory is in the correct slots (A2/B2) & XMP is enabled in the BIOS.

As for the CPU it could be a few things like thermal throttling or just that your CPU, which is unlocked, is paired on a locked board and thus cannot be overclocked but is being compared against those that are and are near the 5ghz range.

How do I find out if the stisck are in the correct slots though? I don't really wan't to take them out as the PC has a warranty as long as I don't switch/remove any parts. And what is XMP and should I disable it?

Honestly, going from 2133 to 2400 isn't going to be some game changing thing, maybe a few FPS at best. As long as the system performs well that's all that matters and isn't worth risking the warranty if you have to swap around memory or enable XMP for a better benchmark score.

The pdf manual for the MB on ASUS' product page for that board clearly states and shows on page 19 you use the 2nd and 4th slots labeled B2 and A2 for dual channel two module configurations.

Page 63 states to access XMP settings via the Ai Tweaker heading under the AI Overclock Tuner sub heading, where you then change it from Auto to XMP.

What was said about knowing what settings others are using is key as well, but synthetic benchmarks aren't really a good way to determine actual game performance, if testing for that is the end goal.

Most i5-9600K processors are going to be running on a Z370/Z390 based motherboard and overclocked.
Your numbers look low compared to them.
Not much you can do about it without a different motherboard.
