Xeon CPUs under Bench

Hello,
I recently made a bench test and noticed my hardware is running far below expectations. Especially the CPU. Drivers are all up to date, temps are fine while gaming and while stress/bench testing as well. Sadly I have no clue what can cause the hardware to run under what it´s supposed to perform at, any help is appriciated.

Only thing I noticed what´s odd are teh Temps at the Motherboard.
I´ve googled around and apparently HWMonitor can´t output them propperly.

CPU: 2x Xeon E5-2630 v3 2.40GHz
GPU: MSI - GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card
RAM: 56GB of Kingstons DDR4 2133

Thanks.

Can you describe how 56GB of RAM is distributed between two CPUs? Number of DIMMs and size. That is an odd size. The CPUs are optimized for multiples of 4 DIMMs per socket.

The BIOS requirements for that CPU are not difficult, but I would recommend that you update to current BIOS. For some reason your CPUs seem to be at 1/2 clock speed (based on the processor ID screen print). I don't have an explanation.

I googled around a bit more and read I should update my BIOS after posting the thread. After updating, my OS broke so I reinstalled my OS (installed W7 by adccident). I just ran a benchmark after doing above and it seems to have fixed my problem.

I honestly have no idea how the ram is distributed in the first place, so no I cant. I build the PC like 2 years ago and one 8GB RAM and I never bothered replacing it. I will buy another 8GB as soon as possible.

I am going to update my OS from w7 to w10 now and hope it stays just as stable.

Thanks a lot for your help!
