Hi, I have a gtx 1070 and an intel i5-6600k. I only oc my i5-6600k to 3.8 ghz (am gonna oc more in the future). On 3D Mark i scored only 5600, online the lowest scores i found for 1070s and similar cpus was around 10k score. Why is mine only 5600 score, any tips, should i oc more?

Hmm I myself looked up the average scores. On 3DMark With that combo around 5-6000 is normal apparently, although its on Timespy so don't know if that's the same thing you tested it on. You'd get 10000 if you had two 1070s in SLI. If you really want a higher score you'd need a new CPU, or alternatively overclock your CPU to 4.80GHz if you have the cooling for it.
