Said I was “above expectations”. Me mum would be happy.
I did have Chrome running which likely didn’t help.

Interesting to see that the same CPU and GPU scores higher than @BeachAV8R’s 
UserBenchmarks: Game 147%, Desk 107%, Work 142%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X - 97.9% ← I blame this on my overclock settings, which purely boost single-core to the detriment of everything else, as well as UserBenchmark’s biased against AMD latency metric and weight. And I guess my chip is just worse than chipwich’s
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080-Ti - 149.4% ← this is an Aorus Xtreme, a high-end model, and those Noctua fans are doing great on it (96th percentile of all 1080Ti’s)
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB - 323.8%
SSD: Samsung 870 QVO 1TB - 130.4%
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 4000 C18 4x8GB - 108% ← this one I clocked down so it matches the internal speed of the CPU, but that is pretty bad for this memory benchmark. Is good for games though.

You’re gonna love it. I had a 3900X as well before this and the gaming performance difference between the two is LARGE haha
Interesting. I tried @Freak’s advice and set PBO limits to Motherboard, in the BIOS.

Question.
How do these benchmark % figures compare with others? Is it a comparison between other hardware of the same type, or what?
For instance, my older i7 8700K performed 117% while my new Ryzen 5900X are 10% lower, at about 107%. Does this mean I have a slower CPU…?
UserBenchmark favors intel CPUs. AFAIK the percentage is like a quotient, so at 100% you are smack at the center of gravity of the distribution. The distribution is made up of other users rigs, so yours is above average at this time. Don’t worry about the numbers though, UB is quite unscientific in their process.
As sobek said UB artificially favours Intel in their scoring. You can be sure that your 5900X will be considerably faster than the 8700k in any application you throw at it. It’s not a tool you want to use to compare CPUs across brands. It’s terrible at that.
Makes sense.
That’s what I figured.

Interesting! 5900X on top of the pile! …
Here’s my system. Upgraded from a GTX1080 last week. All other main components are about a year and a half old now. The HDD is a relic from earlier builds.

don’t laugh. shes old.
That CPU still holds pretty well! 
to be honest im not sure the test on the Graphics card is correct as it says 4gb and its an 8 gig card
