I honestly have no idea why this happened. I do not know much about overclocking, but I enjoy trying out some benchmarks from time to time. My 5080 FE had been scoring around 8100 at stock settings, but after I made some changes to the fans in my case, my score is all of a sudden falling around 8500 at stock settings. The results with an overclock (+400 core, +2000 memory) scale accordingly as well – 8947 prior to moving fans around, 9403 afterwards. Even ran a stress test (3rd pic) to make sure it wasn't an outlier result.
For context: I added a 92mm fan to my build and needed to rework some of the fans in my case. One of my headers had 4 fans daisy chained from it, so decided to move two of those over to the AIO pump header instead. Also added the 92mm fan to the pump header. Anyone have any clues as to why my score randomly increased by so much?
