xmp was loaded, i have a profile setup that runs ram at 3400 Sorry, didnt do any benchmarks to get concrete numbers but performance drop was very obvious. As far as in game, when i initially installed the 5800x games would load quicker and I would get higher frame rates (120+ on destiny, 200+ on league) but it would not last more than 10 minutes at a time or if it was consistent then whatever tasks i had in the background would run slowly or be non-responsive

flashed to 64a, downloaded the chipset drivers with the 3700x installed and after the reboot it still didnt seem to change anything

Don't think i've heard of pbo tuning. I considered needing a fresh windows install but i've had problems with reinstalling windows in the past, also not wanting to have to redownload everything so I tried to avoid it. Just for clarification, if i were to reinstall windows, first i'd put the new cpu in, then boot from the windows installation tool and install windows fresh onto the drive?

Decided to go ahead and start updrading my cpu and gpu GPU : MSI VENTUS 2x OC GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB CPU : Ryzen 7 2700 MOBO : Gigabyte B450 Aorus pro wifi PSU : Apevia 800w Gold CPU cooler : Bequiet dark 4 cpu cooler RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 32GB (4 x 8GB) Got a ryzen 7 5800x and two more sticks of ram (to get to the four in the list) and had to do a bios update so my mobo could support the cpu. Everything went fine with the bios update so i installed the cpu, after installation I noticed my pc would run slower overall and certain apps like discord and spotify were going non-responsive. Reinstalled the 2700 and everything was fine so i figured i got a bad cpu. I got a replacement 5800x and installed that one and my pc starting running even slower to the point where it was taking a while to turn on and off. Was told by some technicians at microcenter that 5800s throttle easily so getting a better fan might help because i had been using the wraith cooler that came with the 2700 (it did not help), I also decided to go ahead and get a 3060 while I was in the store (upgrade from 1660). Figured maybe my mobo just couldnt handle a 5000 gen so i got a 3700x, installed it and had the same issues as before so now i'm sitting with a 2700 and a 3060. I want to return the 3700x and be done with it, but I dont want to under utilise a 3060 by having a 2700. Any reason why I am having so much trouble upgrading my cpu?

I’m pretty sure I don’t have anything that downclocks it but I’m gonna try to overclock to normal speed

(GTX 1660 and Ryzen 7 2700) First pc and everything was going fine then today i booted it up and noticed i was having significant frame drops not just in game but even just casually browsing the internet. Afterburner and nzxt cam both show normal thermals but show base clock at 300 MHz when it is advertised to be 1530. Typically i can run destiny 2 at around 100 frames, but now it cant stay above 50. All my drivers are up to date, not sure if bios issue or something else.
