    Hello,

    i've got the following setup:

    CPU: i9-9900k
    MB: MSI Z370 KRAIT GAMING (Latest Bios 1.80)
    RAM: G.Skill Trident Z 32 GB RAM (F4-3200C14D-32GTZ)
    GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G
    PSU: Corsair RM850i
    SSD1: Samsung 970 Evo Pro
    SSD2: Samsung 960 Evo Pro
    OS: Windows 10 Pro

    I've noticed that the L2 cache on my CPU is quite slow (Compared to other results spread all over the internet for this CPU), usually people get around 600-700 GB/s on the L2 cache.

    Is this a mainboard / mainboard bios issue??? Or can the CPU be defect?

    (PS: I have also tried all on stock settings after resetting the bios settings completely, same issue!)

    Wow, that is odd. My 4770k@4.4Ghz is right behind those L2 scores. I wonder if it has anything to do with it being a Z370 board? Maybe a bug in the BIOS/UEFI because of the CPU/MOBO combination?
