hey guys, i have a problem that frustrate the hell out me the past few days and i want your help.
Three weeks ago i bought a new High end machine ( assembled PC)
windows 7 64bits
I7 6700k 4.0 Ghz
GTX 1070
DDR4 8GB ram
120Gb SSD
MSI Z170A gaming M3
However, i did not replace my old 500 watt power supply, and that led the power supply to die within 2 days (it popped and a spark came out of it. Needless to say, i almost cried like a baby when it happened
)
i replaced it with a brand new power supply and everything worked fine. However, When i bench-marked my PC using your software i got abysmal results with my RAM, Prime number & physics tests for the CPU.
I don't want to set the narrative but does the power supply incident affected my PC performance or could it be something else ? . because i read that power supply failure could affect other parts as well like motherboard.
For example my Corsair 1x8 gb ram, available ram and memory threaded tests i was below the 48% percentile ,memory write test i was below 55% percentile, memory read cached results were below the 70 % percentile.
For my CPU, the Prime number test and physics test i got bad results, but everything else is ok. I should not get these results for a 3 weeks old PC. Also my gaming experience is not good for what i paid for (i play total war games all the time)
Why my results are bad ?? do i need to replace any parts or there is something else i need to know about ??.
All results are compared to the same module
I have no overheating problem or under voltage problems.
CPU core voltage is 1.28 volt.
Dram voltage 1.216 volt.
Sorry for my rambling
, but i am very frustrated.
