CPU is super under performing

xReCoiiLDaZe · Feb 23, 2018

my i7 7700 is getting a horrible score https://gyazo.com/b04fef4c05254d274af0d6a396b9086e that is too show you what i mean but i have no clue what to do

CPU temps when running cinebench?

xReCoiiLDaZe · Feb 23, 2018

30 degrees Celsius

Dunlop0078 · Feb 23, 2018

xReCoiiLDaZe :

Where are you getting that number? What cooler are you using? It should certainly be getting quite a lot hotter than that when under load in cinebench unless you have some serious cooling.

What are clock speeds when running cinebench?

xReCoiiLDaZe · Feb 23, 2018

I just checked i am never going above 50% cpu and my ghz is like 1.8 https://gyazo.com/7f04dccb7afad12ec2e315d07baf43b9

Sounds like it's throttling, which does not make a lot of sense if temps are okay. The reason you have such a low score is that clock speed.

Could be a power issue if it's not temps.

My pc fan is quiet with the stock cooler

Can you list the rest of your hardware...
Always list that with the question.

gtx 1060 8gb ram 1tb hard drive I also checked HWmonitor and my cpu is at a constant 100 degrees cel how ever my cooler is working fine and i have only had it for 2 months and its working fine its spinning and everything not loud at all

What?????? 100 degree Celcius????

Dude fix the CPU cooler. It is either mounted incorrect or are you even using any thermal paste?
No wonder your CPU is under performing, it is thermal throttling like mad to prevent damage. Even running at 100 degree celcius is not good at all for the CPU.

Just to make sure you are reading the temps correct. Can you go into bios and watch the CPU temps there, and see how high it will go?

The maximum allowable temperature for the i7-7700 is 100°C

Once the temperature reaches this point the processor will stop functioning until the temperature has dropped in order to avoid (further) damage to the cpu.

The TJUNCTION half way down the page is the info you are interested in.

Quite literally ... PULL THE POWER CORD OUT OF THE WALL NOW!!!!!!!

In bios it’s at 100 cel it has been fine for ages and now suddenly it is just got hot also I am using the thermal paste that comes with the stock cooler

Stop using the computer until this is fixed.

There is clearly something wrong with the CPU cooler.

- Has come lose.
- Never cleaned so it is totaly clogged up with dust, etc.
- CPU cooler fan has stopped working.
- To old thermal paste. (still should not let the CPU go to 100 degree celcius)
- The Vcore setting have for some reason been set WAY to high = Higher temps.

Thats about it. One of the points (or several) is correct.

Changed cooler to a arctic alpine 11 pro and getting 50 on idle

lumineZ · Feb 26, 2018

Idle is one thing. What do you get under load? I would not recommend going past +85 degree celcius on any core for a 24/7 day to day usage.

xReCoiiLDaZe · Feb 26, 2018

100 still it thermal throttles i looked in HWmonitor https://gyazo.com/ea1803861af7f45262fc7170fac38b92 thats my idle i noticed that my RPM was high but fans PWM is at 0% What is that?

lumineZ · Feb 26, 2018

Pretty sure you are doing something wrong when you are mounting the CPU cooler. Either with the thermal paste or mounting...

My advice to you now so you dont damage your system is to power it down. Leave it turned off. Take it to a computer shop and let them mount your CPU cooler.
