Underperforming hardware

[H1ry09]

Hi! I have a quite decent specced out rig whit an Asus 1070, an Intel i5 7600k and 16gb 3000Mhz memory. However, I do not feel the performance I should have in games and even just in the os. I have tried overclocking and I am afraid I have damaged my CPU but I have only loaded preset OC profiles in the bios of my motherboard so it should have been safe, right? I experience lower framerates than some of my friends with lower grade than me hardware in titles like black ops 4 and csgo and I also experience an insane amount of lag in fortnite. Any ideas on what my problem could be or if I should just go buy a new CPU? Could it be a software setting I have overlooked?

Also, I have two Samsung 970 EVO's in raid 0 and don't see the speed I should be expecting in boot times, game loading times and overall snappiness in the os. 

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

What motherboard are you using?

This is never the start of a productive topic.

Some numbers would be useful. Use a benchmark in a game then compare to another benchmark of that part. i.e. find a 1070 benchmark for a game and a 7600k cinebench score and compare.

 

Saying "I do not feel the performance I should have in games and even just in the os." is a bit of nebulous thing to say.

Ok, thanks. My numbers look normal. I got 320fps average in a cs go benchmark and I peeked at 699cb in cinebench although I saw users with 0.2Ghz higher clock speeds reach 800. But still, I don't know why I lag in some games. My OS is 64-bit education, do you think that can be the reason?
