So I just built my first gaming PC March 15th and all was going well and I never would've noticed anything was off until a friend of mine who had an RX 570 had told me my CS:GO framerate was absolute trash on an RX 580. I started looking around and trying to figure out the issue and tried a few things such as removing MSI Afterburner which changed nothing. I went into the BIOS and factory reset it in case I might've bumped something during setup which changed nothing. When using NZXT Cams to see my cpu/gpu temps and usage my cpu would sit at around 1.8ghz with a temp of 41 degrees. With these numbers I'm only achieving 90fps in game and should be getting at least double that number. Another example is in Rainbow Six Siege I sit at 2.2ghz in menu at 44 degrees and at 3.2ghz in a match with only 51 degrees and get about 95fps. I'd love any and all help and recommendations for this so that I can get back to playing more reasonably and for csgo especially, to be able to utilize what I had paid for instead of like the old 2gb vram like my old build which performed like how it currently is. Full build list below.

Seems like you’re CPU isn’t boosting its clocks nearly enough. 

 

But thats a motherbaord issue. Check your BIOS setttings and make sure you’re letting the chip get the power it wants. Could be VRM related too, make sure the motherbaord has adequate airflow. 

 

1.8-2.2GHz in games is too low. You should be hitting 3.75GHz average across all cores with an R5 2600.
