Compare physics score and turbo core clock and ram speed.

That CPU is overclocked, but your Turbo core speed should be 3,900 and not 800.

Your Physics score seems to reflect a very low CPU clock?

Where should I look to fix these issues, bios?

 

[paolopira]

Your system is not setup properly. Your CPU should be scoring over 4x what it is currently.

Any idea on how to fix it? I built the pc. It was my first time therefore it's possible that I made mistakes

 

[Techhog]

I'll check tonight

What cooler are you using?

 

[paolopira]

What cooler are you using?

Cooler Master hyper t2

 

[Stuka87]

That should be a decent cooler for a stock clocked chip. But from the looks of it, the chip is running very hot and declocking itself.

That or the efi/bios is messed up.

So you like demos over actual full games ........ Theres your first problem..

 

[tweakboy]

Play the darn game and see what happens....... gl

How so?

Just to ask the obvious maybe, but is there any TIM on the CPU before you but the cooler on it ?

Probably is, or I doubt it would even post.

That or try re seating it maybe with new stuff.

I put the heat prevention paste on the first installation.

Did you remove the protective plastic from the cooler before installing?

Anyway, just run coretemp or some other program that shows temperature on the pc, if it gets hot it'll show.

I'll try core temp and let you know.

That is extremly poor score, something is not right for sure. Look at ur cpu boost it's at 800mhz, check ur temps.

Wow!! This is really bad.
I'm gonna get a new heat paste tube and reinsert the cpu and I'll try to understand why the speed Is maxed at 800

Enable XMP in ur UEFI so hopefully the ram is set to correct value.

Just make sure you use just enough to cover the surface with a very thin layer. Too much will reduce heat transfer.

SOLVED!! the solution makes me even more mad than the problem.
Apparently windows decided to run with power saving settings, with maximum core speed set at 5%. aaaaghhhh!!!
I changed the power options to "high performance" and now I got this score in FS:

Thank you very much everyone for the brain storming.

 

[lyssword]

nice! Yeah that's really weird lol

 

[Flapdrol1337]

I've never seen that before, why would it do that.... weird.

Windows does not do that. You might want to consider human factor here, either you or someone else.

Nice good it worked out!

Another issue I ran into was that the non-Steam version of the game gave me much poorer results than the Steam version. I'm not sure what was missing on the non-Steam version, but it certainly isn't the one to use it seems.

DUDE in post #2 I told you to check those settings.

Set cpu max/min to 100% in power control panel using high performance setting.

I'm sorry xorbe I focused only on the first part of your message.
Thank you anyway, I wish I paid more attention, it would have saved me lots of headaches.
