Upgrade from i3-4330 to i5-4440, worst perfomance

[darlexins]

Hello, I recently upgraded and old computer who had:

• i3-4330 CPU
• GT-630 1gb GPU
• H81M-E33 MOBO
• A generic PSU
• 8 gb RAM (Ram 1 + Ram 2)
• 240 SSD + 1TB HDD

And changed the CPU to an i5-4440, but the games run worst than before I know that is a little change but for instance, Overwatch ran at 30fps stable with the i3, but with the new processor I experience severe fps drops.

 

After that I also upgraded the GPU to a RX580 4gb and the PSU to an AZZA 550W, I know that this configuration could cause a bottleneck and it does I tested with afterburner and the cores peak at 100% and the GPU has also random spikes with low usage, but maybe something else could be the cause? Because right now the fps drops are horrible and the general performance is worse than before doing any change 

Is there anything I can do in the meantime? I'm thinking of putting back the i3 to test the performance 

 

I'm also obviously thinking on upgrade CPU+MOBO+RAM but because of the money I have to wait a considerable amount of time.

 

Thank you in advance for your time

Have you been able to check the temps while gaming?

Did you do a CMOS clear when you installed the new CPU? If not, give that a go. If you did, did you update BIOS? There hasn't been a new bios in 2 years for that board, but you might still be on an older one.

If Overwatch is your only point of reference, it might also be the case that automatic graphic settings changed due to the hardware change and therefore you got worse performance.

From experience, I can tell you that OW can rut at over 60 fps with an i5-4440, if you adjust the settings. However, the i5 will definitely be under full load with only the game running.

The GPU temp is fine <60 C, I will check the CPU temp.

I will clear the CMOS. for the BIOS I just checked that the version supported the 4th gen. Right now I'm at version 6.5, I also will give a try to update to the latest version.

I mean, Overwatch is the most affected game, I had lo lower everything to low and even there the fps drops to 12 sometimes. I also played Valorant before at stable ~110Fps but now the fps drops to even 30 sometimes, before the changes those drops never happened.

Well, it was the cpu temperature. It was really high because the cpu fan was misplaced. I should have checked that before. Thank you all for your help :)
