Hey everyone! I'm having a bit of a problem with my AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Lately, I've been getting low scores on benchmarks—only 1045 points on Cinebench 2024, which seems pretty off. My temperatures are also pretty low, maxing out at just 62°C even under full load (98-100% usage).
I recently swapped my GPU and updated my BIOS to fix a video signal issue with my RTX 4080. Although I'm still getting good FPS in games, something feels off. After updating the BIOS, I reset to the "default optimized settings". I can't remember my previous score but I do recall my temps were a bit higher, around 70°C. Here are my specs:
* Gigabyte B650M Gaming Wi-Fi (rev 1.2) with BIOS F35 (3D mode disabled)
* AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
* Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 32GB (Dual Channel) with EXPO enabled
* Corsair RM1000e PSU
Any ideas on what could be wrong or if I'm missing any configurations? Thanks!

It sounds like your temps are pretty low, which might be fine for stability but could also mean that your CPU isn't being fully utilized. If you set everything back to default after the BIOS update, double-check that the settings are optimal for performance and consider re-enabling any modes that could enhance performance.
Have you checked what wattage your CPU is pulling during Cinebench? Low power draw might indicate it’s not hitting its peak performance. When I ran HWMonitor, I saw mine pull around 90W under full load, but it can vary based on settings and temps. You might want to tweak your CPU settings or enable the 3D mode in the BIOS to help it perform better.
