Recently Upgraded Pc games still getting extremely low Frames

[UwUHydro]

I recently Upgraded my pc I kept some of the old parts and upgraded Mobo, Ram, and CPU. I tried playing Sea of Thieves, Greyzone Warfare, Fallout 76, Fallout 4, Halo Infinite and Helldivers if I drop the graphics setting to as low as they go i can get on average 60 frames. With the games set to the default auto detected graphics setting im only getting 20FPS on average.

Pc Parts bellow:

i7 12700KF

2080 super 8gb Asus

32Gb Corsair Vengeance Ram

MSI Z690 Pro Wifi

750W + 80 silver Corsair 750M PSU

Game Drive is a Samsung 1TB 870 Evo

I Think I have updated all drivers to their current ones the only one I couldn't find was for my chipset/CPU. My guess is that it could be from only having one of the 8 pin PCIE cables connected to the Mobo and not 2 as my PSU doesn't have an extra 6+2 pin cable. Other than that I am lost at how Task Manager says that it is low impact when running games. On average GPU usage is at 12%, CPU usage stays around 15-25%, Ram sits at 40-50% and the drives aren't maxed at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Having only one of the two auxiliary power cables connected to your Motherboard might indeed be an issue.
Did you try using HWMonitor or something similar to take a look at your CPU clock speed and power draw?
Maybe you're experiencing heavy throttling - this wouldn't necessarily be visible in the CPU usage. 

 

When upgrading your PC, did you do a fresh windows install?

What do you mean PCI-E 6+2 for the motherboard??!

The motherboard should be using the EPS 8-pin / ATX 4+4 pin cable, NOT a PCI-E power cable.

One EPS 8-pin power is enough, especially for a i7-12700KF.

 

CPU does not require drivers, but the chipset drivers, along with ALL the necessary motherboard drivers, should be through the motherboard support page.

Did you do a fresh install of Windows, or did you re-use your old install?

Did you uninstall the OLD drivers for your old CPU/Motherboard?

 

The motherboard has 4x RAM slots.

Which ones are you using?

Is XMP enabled in the motherboard BIOS?

 

Did you monitor the temperatures?

Is the CPU or GPU thermal throttling / overheating (e.g. poorly mounted CPU cooler)?
