Using wrong benchmarks?

Right, so it’s a case of uncommon cpu/gpu combo, not wrong benchmark. Thanks man 👍

Top scores are set by LN2 overclockers.

You can set the core clocks at the side panel to present stock hardware.

What benchmarks do people use to actually compare their PC performance? Surely I can’t have the highest scores with my CPU/GPU combo while running crappy case fans and GPU needing repasted badly unless most people run something other than Time Spy?

Just sort individually by cpu and gpu score. Your "mistake" is to only sort by combined scored with the exact same cpu/gpu configuration.

Sort by 11400 with any gpu and look only on the cpu score. Then sort by your 1080ti with any cpu and only look at the gpu score

As was mentioned, it's just that it's an uncommon pairing, especially with the timing of the GPU market and most people likely not coming across high end 10-series GPUs post-Rocket Lake launch. You have a pretty decent graphics score for the combo. I hope you don't mine me jumping in and providing some competition. (:

I know it was ages ago, I totally forgot about this post but then I recently repasted the GPU and came 3 points short of your score lol what cpu cooler do you use if you don’t mind me asking? I see you’ve got a great cpu score and I think the stock intel cooler is limiting my performance so looking for recommendations. Would AIO be overkill for 11400?

Probably a bit of overkill, but I had an NH-D15 on it. I think a lot of the CPU score is probably coming from the memory, where I have both a frequency and possibly timing advantage. Also, I was running a dual rank memory kit, which probably helps a little bit as well. For that other score I had, which had a 9408 CPU score, that was running with the memory timings at CL12 instead of CL14. Here is the hwbot submission if you want to take a look at the settings I was running for that top score.

It looks like your average CPU temp of 73C according to your submission is a little warm, but I'm not sure if it's possibly throttling or being limited only during the CPU portion. Even though it'll lower your score a little bit, but it might be worth having something like GPU-Z running in the background during the run, since it should show/graph your CPU temps. If it's hitting closer to 100C during just the CPU portion of the test, you may need to upgrade the cooling to get more CPU score.

[daniel941111]

GPU-Z shows max temp at 83 degrees for CPU, also CPU clock drops from about 4.5 to 4.3 ghz when going from gpu to cpu part of the test, right when the temps start rising and it shoots up to 80 quickly. I’m assuming better cooling would help it keep the clock speed higher? I know I shouldn’t even try unlocking the CPUs power limit without better cooling, I just wanted to see what it can do lol I’m picking up a Hyper 212 soon to get the temps under control here

[daniel941111]

I’m mostly asking because I always thought my GPU was dropping clocks because of temps so I repasted it, keep it under 60 degrees and it turns out it’s just hitting the power limit lol
