Earlier today I purchased 3DMark to benchmark and stress test my system. I'm running a 1080 Ti with an i7-7700.
My PC is constantly failing the Fire Strike Ultra stress by a couple percentage points. My GPU performance and temperature are all stable, but I tried upping the case fan speed curve just to see, and I managed to get within a percent of passing. With default fan speeds, it usually runs around 83 to 84, which is apparently normal with the card. However, by increasing the fan speed it was reduced to around 68 to 69.
However, my CPU performance is constantly fluctuating during the test. Most of the time they are small, usually between 3800 MHz and 4000. However, it occasionally drops extremely low, with the lowest drop being around 1800. Temperatures are also fluctuating between 33c and 40c.
Is this a sign that my CPU might be faulty?
Also, this is without overclocking. It's all stock settings aside from the fan speed.
