14900KF Cinebench 24' Nowhere Near CGI Director Scores

My 14900KF scores 1580 in Cinebench 2024, some way off the 2200 shown in CGI Directors benchmarks. I'm curious what others are getting and how I would improve my results if the listed ones are correct?

I've ran the Intel XTU utility and can see the cpu is thermally throttled when stress tested. I also used the utility to optimize the defaults settings etc. My Cinebench score is with these settings.

Win 11 Pro
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A D4
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S

I've also attached a screenshot of the XTU settings.

An advice here would be greatly appreciated as I want to eek out as much as I can for cpu rendering.

What do your temps look like during a run?

Hey Alex - at default settings high 80's, low 90's. This was with the power restricted in the bios etc. If unlocked and over clocked via XTC some of the P cores hit 100c. System became very unstable. P cores were at 5300 MHz, E cores were 4100 I think, can't remember.

Browsing around it seems those high Cinebench scores were achieved by syncing all cores and crazy cooling, one guy only managed with with liquid nitrogen. I can't imagine it would be a stable system to work with, just done to achieve a benchmark.
