AMD FX 8320 Not getting results as expected

[rick]

Hello, I was hopen to get a score around 8000 but it's around 6.5 - 7.3 with passmark full cpu 64 bit. Is there a reason for this? maby my motherboard fail ? motherboard : ASUS M5A97 R2.0 - Socket AM3+ - ATX AMD 970 - 4 x DDR3 - SATA600/USB3.0 Thanks for help.

Are you referring to the CPUMark or the overall PassMark rating, or some other value?

i run a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on an ssd. i was referting to the score : http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?...320+Eight-Core

my basic concern is if my motherboard is the cause of the lower score, or does the cpu simply change from 3.5 ghz to 4 on its own that causes the difference?. Because if my motherboard is the problem i could return it.

I think it is impossible that you got a score of 6.5 for the CPUMark.

Maybe you are looking at the wrong figure?

The page you linked to shows the average score for a FX-8350, which is a CPUMark value of 8169.

It doesn't tell me anything about your claim that you got a score of 6 in the same benchmark test. I would think it is impossible you got a score this low. The machine would be so slow it wouldn't even boot into Windows.

If you have runs the tests and submitted a baseline result, do you have the URL or the baseline number, so we can have a look at the actual results you got.

I think he couldn't make you understand, btw i am also having the same problem. my average cpu mark score is 7608 without overclocking, i mean keeping everything at stock.
My mobo is msi 970A-g43. i also doubt that it is a problem with the motherboard with issues regarding cpu throttling. But if i force it to run at 4Ghz then my cpu mark score jumps to 8357.
At stock it shows that it is even slower than 8150 by a 3% difference.
I am wondering whether i should change my motherboard or RMA my cpu.

Wouldn't seem so. Original poster was claiming his CPU was running at 0.07% of it's expected performance. Although I think it was more likely they were just very confused and didn't have any major problem at all.

You are getting 93% of expected performance. Or 102% is you overclock.
So it seems unlikely that anything is faulty. If you look at it from the point that about 50% of people are (by definition) going to be below average then 93% isn't anything to be alarmed about. Not everyone can be above average.

As to why you are 7% down I can't say. You need to investigate stuff like,
- System and CPU temperatures
- RAM timings.
- BIOS version
- Windows power settings

Enable HPC mode in bios. And run test again
