Hello thanks for looking at this I recently put together a new computer its been amazing but I wanted to see how good so I downloaded nova bench and then ran the test but I scored very low for what my computer is I have a gtx 970 an intel i7 3.5 GHz and 64 GB of ram and an Asus x99 deluxe motherboard I got a 2282 score and I thought it was good but other people with not as worse processors get much higher scores than I do like over 3500. I do not know why I am getting low scores if anyone has any ideas please help :)
 
Solution
make sure the mb has the newest bios file on it. then make sure you have the newest intel chipset and mei drivers.
make sure in the bios ram xmp profile is on and you have the ram set up for quad channel.
I wouldn't worry to much about a single benchmark score. There area lot of differences in systems and settings which will affect the score. Overclocking a CPU can make a huge difference and there are optimizations that can be made to increase the score.
