What kind of "slowdowns"? When and where do they happen? 

Is windows on a SSD or HDD?

Just to make sure, this is on Windows 10, correct? Is it fully updated to the latest version?

Did you update your BIOS to the latest available, which fixes a few issues related to CPU frequency, scheduling and what not.

I've heard of some odd SSD behaviors when the last one or two SATA ports are used.  Any chance you've not used SATA port 1?

Ooh with that many populated then I'd definitely double check.  Have a look in the manual to see how their ordered.  

[Simple Slimy]

then yes 1 is being used

updated windows 10?  Not like an old build (prior to build 1809) or anything?  I think the newer builds also got optimizations for Ryzen.  What's your RAM running at, is at least XMP on?

Did you install the chipset drivers from amd.com or are you using the default drivers that came with Windows 10?

 

See https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/b450

 

No worries if your chipset is not b450 , the link goes to "all in one" package that's the latest for socket AM4 chipsets.

 

also shouldn't cause a problem but check if you have the latest bios for ryzen 2xxx series , not necessarily the absolute latest bios as some of the newest bioses may only have updates for Ryzen 3rd generation

Is this a fresh Windows install, or did you carry it over from your previous setup?
