X570 Confusion

[Muchacho Major]

Hi, I’m new here and hope I’m in the right spot, I recently had my 3900X in an MSI Gaming Edge WiFi which finding out later has one of the worst vrm solutions, therefore I just spent almost double to upgrade to the Asus rig crosshair hero viii.... installed everything, updated to newest bios, drivers, Xmp enabled pbo tested on, auto and off and all but I get about 100 less points in timespy, my gpu runs hotter (Rtx 2080 super gaming trio) less frame rate in hunt showdown,  cpu temps not great and jump all over the place sometimes with the same cooler and thermal paste, what gives? The cheaper motherboard performed quite a bit better in many ways.. any advice? Thanks

Are you using the same windows installation from the previous motherboard?

Thank you for your response, but no I did a complete new install...updated and all, same windows version

Now you tweak in system performance. That's what the board is all about that you had purchased!!!

 

Can you list system specs? Include your PSU, case..... heck take a picture of it. I like eye candies! 

 

How's the thermals? Have you done any stress testing?

The only thing I changed was the case and motherboard, I have the meshify c now which has more airflow than my last h500, this cooler is actually pretty great it's a pccooler GI-D66A was getting temps in the 40-50s playing tarkov and stayed at 60degrees in hunt showdown for the most part before. I was going to get an aio but this thing is cooling so well with thermal grizzly kryonaut. So I get a better board a better case with a few more fans, hotter GPU and weird CPU thermals, less performance, just doesn't seem right and should be the other way around, did testing in cinebench, timespy and game testing with MSI afterburner, doesn't feel as fast and cool as my MSI Gaming edge WiFi board. I have the seasonic 750 gold, and Corsair dominator platinum at 3466 32gb. Rtx 2080 super gaming x trio. Thanks for your help and Interest.

Man that looks cool. You did a fine job with it, thanks for the eye candies!!

 

Well you can try the performance enhance option in bios. Believe there's 4 levels. 4 is difficult to manage.

 

Since you've changed the case and fans what not, I'd try different fan configuration experiments to see how it cools in one direction or another, positive vs negative case pressure yada yada. Can't really blame the motherboard really if you haven't tried more than slap it together, run some tests and conclude it's got slightly less performance, by the sounds of it, maybe 1-2% margin of error or perhaps just a placebo effect in play to a certain degree. The boards are way totally different. The bios's are quite different. Hardly comparable imo.

Thank you so much I appreciate that,  I have definitely been tinkering with a lot of the bios and will continue to do so thank you for your suggestions and support, it's just weird that straight stock with only xmp enabled on a cheap board can be beating this 380$ board, I will continue to tune it the best I can, thank you!

Well the Cpu is very temperature sensitive. So just remember to play on that the best you can. If your thermals seem higher, you want to get them lower. 

But don't bat an eye at 5fps here and there or 25 cinebench points. There's a lot of variables at play while you are benching. Some fluctuation is normal.

And you're welcome. Enjoy the rig, it's definitely a beast.
