ever since i got my i7-6700 i have noticed that my performance has benm subpar compared to others with the excact same specs as me. in 3d mark in the cpu benchmark i only seemed to get aroud 4000 score when the averge of the i7-6700 is 9000. i seem to have only about 4-7% backround cpu usage when im in idle so its not the cpu usage that is causing the problem neither is it my cpu temperature since it only sits around 50-60 degrees celsius under load. i would appriciate it vwery much if somebody could help me.

Specs:

i7-6700 (3.7 Mhz)

rog strix gtx 1080

z170a PC MATE

16 gb ddr4 ram

cooler master 650w psu
 
Solution
Well that's why I recommended safe mode. Of course it's not real world testing, but it allows us to isolate what could be causing the issue.
Thing is, safe mode isn't real world testing so to speak, although I agree it'd be good to at least know your system is running properly under some conditions, but I'd try to get to the root of the problem too if I were you You didn't say how much/what kind of RAM you have. Apart from that there is no reason hardware-wise why you re experiencing those problems.

Have you tried running something like ccleaner to tidy up registry etc?
