Is this Firestrike score too low regarding the specs I have? GTX 980 Ti, i7 4790k

So I decided to give a shot on testing my rig for the first time and this is the result that I got.

Based on this I do think that my rig is well below average compare to others and now
I'm trying to figure out what causes the test score to be so low. One of my concern is
that the CPU temp rises as high as 87F, but then again I'm using H100i alongside with it.

Please share your ideas or any king of suggestions would do.

Thank you.

Your definitely below what you should be for a single 980TI and that processor. When I was running 1 980TI with my 6700K OC to 4.6 I was getting 17000+ on Firestrike. Why is your CPU temps getting so high? Mine doesnt go past 50C with the same cooler, im wondering if your throttling at any point due to thermal limits. Also do you have the latest GPU drivers, updated BIOs?

Get your temps under control, maybe you need to remount your cooler, possibly apply new thermal paste, finger tighten the cooler, do not overtighten.
