Here are two CSV files from HWInfo. One is from a Cinebench run and the other is from a 3DMark run: https://file.io/0Up3XbyBx67D

I also have screenshots of the temps during the 3DMark run: https://imgur.com/a/7wCjGth

I forgot to take screenshots of the CPU temps for the Cinebench run but it hovered around 81c the entire time.

I have 4 8gb sticks of RAM, and they occupy all 4 RAM slots of my motherboard. Here is a link containing screenshots of a 3DMark run as well as my CPU-Z RAM info: https://imgur.com/a/7wCjGth

My CPU temps max out at 81C during a Cinebench run and it does not appear to thermal throttle.

I believe my RAM is running in dual channel. I am not very familiar with RAM timings, so I am currently doing research. So far I have found that my RAM die is Hynix 8Gbit AFR, if that is useful! This link contains screenshots of the memory section of CPU-Z if you want to double check speeds/DC. https://imgur.com/a/7wCjGth I have PBO enabled, however I have not messed with it further than that (I don't even see a setting for any curve in my BIOS unfortunately) I have 4G decoding enabled as well as Resizable BAR. I downgraded my BIOS to 3810, which has not appeared to meaningfully affect scores (same thing with the Windows settings)

Hey all! I've had this PC for a few months now, and I noticed that it under-performs in a lot of stuff that I throw at it. Not by a huge margin, but enough that I notice it under certain circumstances. It is also remarkably consistent in it's under-performing. Does anyone have any advice?

https://imgur.com/a/w58nJ57 As you can see my results are typically 3-10% worse than the same hardware. I have also watched benchmarks of games that I play with the same specs and I have noticed a similar disparity in framerate while using the same settings.
 
Things I have tried: Completely wiping drivers and reinstalling them (both GPU and Chipset)
Monitoring temps (CPU never gets over 80c, GPU never gets over 75c)
Completely fresh Windows reinstall (from USB drive)
Confirming BIOS settings (XMP/DOCP on, etc)
BIOS update
Making sure no programs are running in background hogging performance
De-bloating and optimizing Windows for performance
 
Possible theories: Motherboard is a bit older in terms of chipset and PCIe
My CPU supports B550M, whereas my motherboard is B450M
My GPU supports PCIe 4.0, whereas my motherboard can only do PCIe 3.0 speeds
Windows 11 vs Windows 10
I am running 11 which may yield worse performance than 10
I am just unlucky
This would suck if it's true, but maybe my CPU and GPU are just slightly worse than average and it's something I gotta deal with
 
If you made it this far I really appreciate it!

It sometimes it fixes it.
 
Source: Tried it on 3 different dead cards, 2 out of 3 still work to this day, the third worked for a week until I dropped it and it snapped. 

Something like this should do well. Just make sure you check reviews, see if people are getting them with an updated BIOS before you buy or have a backup plan to get it updated just in-case.

A bit excessive, but whatever makes you feel warm inside.
 

Please post what is on the page for those who do not have a wish account. 

thought your original post was more than justified. You were charged double and got silly responses, so you got pissed. 

You should be able to set it up as a network bridge. Here's a guide on how to do it:

A GPU such as a GTX 1050 or a RX 460 should suit your needs. 

ASW was created to make it so you could use an Oculus Rift with a lower end card,
but it also has another fun use.
 
You can get much higher graphics settings with it on, but you need to use something to monitor FPS to make sure you're not dropping below 45 FPS and causing compositor frame drops.
 
You can use the tray tool for that.
 
There are HUD's for monitoring things.
The performance hub shows FPS on the left, your performance headroom on the right and application/compositor frame drops up top.
 
.First turn ASW on 45 FPS and then back to auto to make sure it's activated.
.Enable the performance HUD.
.Put on your VR headset and crank the settings in your game.
.Walk around and keep your eye on the FPS. If it drops to 45 fps that's ASW kicking in.. if it drops below that, you need to lower some settings and try again.
.After you're done with that, you need to keep refining it a bit more. Now, memorize the compositor frame drop number, walk around in game for about 10 minutes and if you don't have any compositor frame drops, you're good to go. If you have 1 or 2 and you're an experienced VR user, it may not even bother you so that's personal preference, but you don't want a lot of them.
 
I get 1080ti level settings on my 1080 this way. I'm at about -10 to -20 performance headroom and I'm not getting a single drop or stutter. 
 
I don't recommend this for new users though as if you're still getting used to VR, it may make you sick.
 
It apparently doesn't work as well on some cards as it does on others, but that's anecdotal so take that with a grain of salt.
 
This combined with a GPU overclock, can make a very big difference.
 
If you're getting drops no matter what you do, you likely have another problem going on that needs to be resolved like a botched driver update or a bad nvidia control panel setting.
 
Note: Compositor frame drops that happen between loading screens and when you first put your rift on don't count. Only ones that happen while in the game walking around do.
 

Personally If you want to save some money I would say get 8gb of ram(if you are just gaming with it) but get faster ram, see if you can get an 8gb stick of 3000mhz for better overclocking on your cpu and then upgrade to the 6gb 1060

short answer.. because of bitcoin and other shitcoins

The normal troubleshooting rules apply-
Remove all but 1 stick of ram.
If your CPU has integrated graphics, remove the GPU.
Removal all bu the boot drive.
see if it posts.  If it does, add back one thing at a time till you find the culprit.

This is neither tech news, nor a review by a major reviewer.

Yeah in most matches I play as if my own life was on the line, I am mostly a sneaky asshole who only strike if necessary and do so in your moment of weakness. I rarely shoot first.
 
Also being good at the building aspect is primordial and make a hell of a difference.
 
Played most of my matches in duo where we have 9% win rate, my 23% solo is out of 200 or so matches so it's likely to go down.

Baking it won't fix it btw. Linus got called out on this. It might fix it for like a week 

like always: do as he says not as he does...
I wouldn't want to eat pizza made from an oven that got GPU residue of unkown stuff inside and grow a third arm over night.... allthough a third arm might come in mighty handy depending on its position.....

I can't do a damn thing to it with zero information about it. 

for all I know you have a water cooled commodore 64

care to type something longer , or perhaps add a question , or was that it? just a facebook status like update?

It'll be a little more than a few years before games and more importantly computers are able to do things like this.
