I just swapped motherboards from an ASUS prime to an msi tomahawk z790 for the better feature set and stronger vrm. The msi was used and had game boost on. I turned it off after reading that it wasn’t a great tool. Prior to turning it off, it actually cinebenched higher than the previous setup, after shutting it off it was behind quite a bit.
I know that ASUS was one of the main causes of the 13th/14th gen degradation issues so I’m imagining the stock setup was pretty rowdy.
I guess what I’m getting at, should I even mess with it? Are there some simple tweaks to run, or do my numbers seem pretty on par. I was hoping to not lose performance in the swap, but I guess if the ASUS setup was potentially dangerous, I guess losing a couple percent won’t hurt either.
Attached are some benchmark scores from passmark, cpu-z, time spy, and cinebench r23.
It seems to be really behind on the cpu-z score, while passmark seems really good, cinebench is a little low, and time spy is close, it’s been as high as 19.9 and as low as 19.5.
If there is any other information needed,just let me know, I’d be happy to oblige.
