slow at times

Not sure if I'm in the right area.. sorry if I'm not..

 

I have an RTX 3060, a Ryzen 9 3900XT and 32GB  of DDR4 set at 2100 MHz, my main SSD is a 1TB 980 and I have 4 monitors attached. Every now and then my system gets sluggish. I'm kind of a newbie on some things and I never game. I use the PC mostly for website creation, writing and occasional video editing. 

 

Any suggestions on upgrading or tweaking?

 

Thanks in advance

That's part of the problem. Ryzen favors higher memory frequencies so the system will feel snappier and can increase performance. What RAM stick configuration are you running and what is the RAM kit rated for in terms of frequency? i.e 32GB 2x16GB DDR4-3200 Corsair Vengeance or Crucial Ballistix etc etc.

OS?
Background tasks?
Temperatures?

Windows 10 pro

background = glary utilities, malware hunter, bitdefender, notezilla

Temp = GPU = 39-49C  CPU = 34C

Try going into the BIOS and enable XMP/DOCP to get them to run at 3200MHz. If this doesn't work and your BIOS hasn't been updated in awhile, try updating the BIOS to the latest non-Beta version and then try to enable XMP/DOCP as updating the BIOS helps improve memory stability.

Could you run "winver"

Interested in version (build number).

Hm, you shouldn't be using two AV solutions with real-time (active) protection, because that can lead to all kinds of weird behaviour.

Try leaving only one active, see if the other one can be in passive (on-demand) mode, or just leave only one installed.

Those are idle temps, but in any case it seems fine.
