Recently built a new PC and got the 14900K. I wanted to see how it ran in Cinebench at Intel stock limits and got a multicore score of around 35k. My understanding is that this is way lower than most people are getting with this CPU right out of the box.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Here’s an overview of information that might be relevant:

  • I have an Asus motherboard, but I disabled the option to let the bios optimize in order to see how the CPU performs at intended settings
  • I have a Thermalright contact frame and was hitting around 80c throughout the test
  • In case it matters: SP rating is 93 overall, 102 on the P cores, 76 on the E cores

    I get 40k at first then it drops to 39k as the throttle kicks in.

    I can manage 325w PL on a 420mm AIO, but even with offset it still throttles to 5.6 Ghz.

    People getting 40k+ are mostly on water cooling.
