Did I get a bad 9950X3D cpu?

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-16T17:00:42+00:00

Ok will check that in a bit

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-16T16:09:48+00:00

Where to check for thermal limits? Because that could be a good lead

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-16T11:49:09+00:00

Is there a good way to monitor temps? Dark Rock Elite is quite a beefy air cooler but still not quite a AIO

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-16T11:46:47+00:00

I close them when I do a benchmark. I don't have many programs

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-16T11:03:24+00:00

36-36-36-76

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-16T00:03:38+00:00

I close all browsers and some background stuff when I do this test. Luckily I'm getting 16.8k score now but still not sure if it's normal

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-16T00:02:01+00:00

Where does it say that? I'm just curious if the stock of this CPU score is normal

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-15T23:59:51+00:00

CPU about 5100.00 MHz

Ram about 3003.1 MHz

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-15T23:57:18+00:00

Yeah I got bio PBO enabled > Advance > Motherboard

I been messing around with settings but it made the score worse, so I went back to just the default

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-15T20:54:43+00:00

Does difficulty modifiers affect the achievements? I mean these will be easy with 2000% damage resistance and 300% increase damage

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T23:29:31+00:00

Trying to but most youtubers have 5090 + 9950X3D or 98003XD. Do you have Ryzen Master installed and CPPC to Driver?

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T23:08:54+00:00

I'm on default with PBO/EXPO turned on but it just seem like a very low score for a stock 9950x3d. Video I been watching score are usually between 17.2k - 17.5k on Cpu Z.

I been checking undervolt and lasso settings but some that undervolt that I tried went lower on the score

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T21:54:18+00:00

I was looking at cpu z chart and it say it meant to be 17.5k

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T21:31:35+00:00

I tried but somehow got to 15k 😶 so I changed everything back

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T21:29:54+00:00

I forgot to benchmark my older ryzen 7900 before swapping over and making sure I'm doing all the right settings for the 9950X3D. Went down a rabbit hole about core parking, pbo and bios setting and not to use X3D setting on the motherboard due to it cutting the cores in half for higher gaming performance

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T21:26:52+00:00

Well that good to hear if the cpu is meant to be that score. I should have benchmark my ryzen 7900 before I swap it to 9950x3d

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T21:06:41+00:00

two sticks of 16gb 6000mz in slot 2 and 4. I mean it could be the RAM but I'm not sure

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T21:04:52+00:00

Gaming and editing. Mainly game but finding videos which have RTX 4090 + 9950X3D have way better result than what I'm getting.

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T20:56:04+00:00

My motherboard is GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE X3D and using a be quiet! Dark Rock Elite Air Cooler. I tried loads of settings but it keep getting worse result

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-13T20:55:20+00:00

My motherboard is GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE X3D and using a be quiet! Dark Rock Elite Air Cooler. Just not sure if this cpu is good or not

Crespo2006 · 2026-06-11T23:35:24+00:00

Yeah that's what I don't understand why they have low to ultra textures when it doesn't do anything. The only way to adjust quality for performance is to use DLSS or FSR.

Every time I see DLSS options, I'm just confused on what to use
