I have a 5600x3d when i originally tested the cpu i was getting benchmark results that were slightly lower than what i expected by about 15 percent 8500 multi and 1700 single in geekbench 6. I reapplied thermal past and benchmarks went up to 9100 and 2100 which is more in line with what I expect, but now benchmark results are back down to where they were previously. I was wondering if anyone can tell me why this happens and if it is indicative of any issues thankyou!
