Why is my computer getting a worse benchmark score?!

[Tantalusdan]

Hey all

I just recently built my new pc (First time builder) and decided to run a benchmark test using passmark to make sure everything was running fine. Thankfully for me everything has turned out great and seems like I built it right. But heres the issue, my friend bought a pre- built gaming pc with lower specs than mine and he got a passmark rating of 6374 were mine was 5600+ (can't remember the exact number). Thing is I have been turning background programs off and changing desktop performance settings so the computer runs faster and he never did that but still got a better rating. I ain't trying to have a competition with him, I just feel like I may need to tweak things in the bios or something to boost my performance cause I just can't understand why he is getting a better rating, anyway heres my rig and his compared:

My Rig -------------------------------------------Friends Rig
CPU: I7 6700 3.4 ghz------------------------I7 6700 3.4 ghz
MOBO: Asus maximus Hero VIII-----------Asus maximus Ranger VIII
RAM: 64 Gb ram (corsair vengeance)----32gb Ram (Corsair vengeance)
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB ------------Samsung 850 EVO 250 gb
GPU: Asus GTx 1080 Turbo In SLI--------EVGA GTX 1080s founders in SLI
HDD: 2x Seagate Barracuda 1 tb---------2x Seagate Barracuda 1 tb
CASE: Coolermater Cosmos 2------------Corsair Obsidian 750D
COOLER: Corsair H100i-------------------Corsair H100i

I know there isn't much difference, but mine should technically have a better rating right? His rig is about 1 month older than mine as well so his should be slightly slower due to temp files and stuff. I would really like some help because I feel like I'm not getting the full power out of my rig.

Thanks

Hmm. Could be something to do with which drivers you have installed, or your temperatures, perhaps? Could anything in your system be throttling due to heat?
