Recently built a new PC and got the 14900K. I wanted to see how it ran in Cinebench at Intel stock limits and got a multicore score of around 35k. My understanding is that this is way lower than most people are getting with this CPU right out of the box.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Here’s an overview of information that might be relevant:

  • I have an Asus motherboard, but I disabled the option to let the bios optimize in order to see how the CPU performs at intended settings
  • I have a Thermalright contact frame and was hitting around 80c throughout the test
  • In case it matters: SP rating is 93 overall, 102 on the P cores, 76 on the E cores

    I bet all the numbers you’re seeing online are from people with motherboards that don’t enforce the Intel limits. I know my Gigabyte isn’t and I’m in the 40K area on R23.
