Hey, recently upgraded from an i5 12400 to an i7 14700 but it isn't reaching R23 benchmark results i see online. Most of what i see hovers around ~30000 and up but i get around 20000-24000 even after setting Pl1-150w and Pl2-219w. bios is updated to F31. Any clues about the low score?
CPU: i7 14700
Motherboard: b660m ds3h ax
Cooler: Thermalright burst assassin 120
ram: 32 gigs 3200mhz ddr4
PSU: gigabyte aorus elite p850w
some references: yt vid, reddit thread, msi forums, nanoreview

Garbage vrm board and sub-optimal cpu cooler.
It is difficult to feed the 14700 processor with that motherboard. It seems like the motherboard is limiting the processor’s power.
You’re thermal throttling while pulling 131W, so you’re way far the maximum power of that processor.
Motherboard is the problem you need better motherboard also your using ddr4 so motherboard is limiting you.
