So your RAM is NOT running at full DDR4 3600 MHz speed.

It is running at 2400 MHz.

 

You need to go into BIOS and enable A-XMP setting.

(Reinstalling Windows 10 should not erase BIOS settings....so you might be running at 2400 MHz even BEFORE wiping your PC)

If you have a virus, you either need to see if some antivirus software can handle it or you need to delete everything and reinstall windows. Start with avast and malwarebytes, maybe try bitdefender, but if all else fails there's not really an easy solution.

 

Once you work on it you can try downloading DDU and uninstalling your graphics drivers, then reinstalling them.

 

Did you make sure your ram is running at its rated speed?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

He freshly installed windows and wiped his PC, probably not a virus causing the speed issues

Sometimes Task Manager will read the RAM frequency properly, some times it won't.

But with my work PC, it is running at DDR4-2400 MHz.

image.png.06cdee8a70064934cfe5dad61208f4ea.png

 

To be 100% sure, you can use CPU-Z, and check the 'Memory' menu.

CPU-Z shows ACTUAL memory frequency, and NOT effective memory frequency.

So DDR4-3600 = 1800 MHz actual frequency.

 

So here...for me, CPU-Z showing ~1200 MHz.

If not, use GPU-Z like I said in my top comment.

Use CPU-Z.

 

Make sure your new Windows 10 install is fully up-to-date.

Make take a few hours for automatic update to finish downloading + installing if you used an old Windows 10 install image.

You SHOULD be up to at least Windows 10 version 2004, maybe 20H2.

 

Make sure you have the LATEST drivers for your:

Motherboard (chipset, audio, LAN, etc) -- https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450M-PRO-VDH-MAX#down-driver&Win10 64

it's not going to be accurate if you tab out and look at Task Manager.

 

What are your CPU + GPU temperatures when gaming?

Are you seeing anything running warm / hot?

E.g. 85*C+

 

How are you checking for driver updates?

Are you going through Windows, or downloading + installing the drivers yourself?

 

Latest graphics card drivers if you download from nVidia is Dec-2-2020, Version 457.51

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

 

Similar for your motherboard drivers. Get them directly from MSi's website.

If you downloaded + installed the motherboard drivers properly, you will ALSO see the 'AMD Ryzen Balanced' plan under Control Panel.
