I’ve been tinkering around with my ram timings and I was benchmarking my ram using linpack or whatever that tool is called, and my GFlops were going up. I decided to do a Cinebench R23 run to see the impact however surprisingly enough, I got a score of 13000, I ran it several times to double check and I was getting the same avg score consistently, so I decided to revert back to XMP and I’m still getting the same score. My CPU should and did get 13600-13700 in the past, now I’m unable to reach that score. Did I screw up my ram kit by increasing the SOC/DRAM voltage? I only did 1.45v for DRAM which is a safe voltage and 1.15 for SOC. I reflashed my bios but to no avail. I even ran Aida64 stress test and I got a hardware failure result. I’m running it right now again after reseating my DIMMS but it’s not crashing and seem stable, but I’m still getting the same score in cinebench. When it comes to games benchmarks, I’m getting the same scores I used to get when my CPU was getting 13700 points in Cinebench, so this didn’t affect my gaming performance. Prime95 didn’t spit out any errors so my ram/memory controller are stable. Any ideas?
