    What's ambient temps like? Is it 30-35C then 75C is fine. Also the score is less for 1060

    Are you sure you didn't exit out of a bunch of programs on the 'before' that you didn't exit out of for the 'after'? Also should try disabling AntiVirus, maybe it decided to check for definition downloads or maybe even Windows itself thought it was a good time to check for updates

    Can't see how a repaste would negatively effect time spy 3dmark as your temps are not bad at all at 75c

    Temp affect boost clock on Pascal graphics. Lower temp the better. And lower boost clock means lower scores.

    Well the huge difference was in the CPU score after the repaste, which is why I think he should retest with closing out of all programs, since something was using his processor more (not the benchmark) compared to the before
