Ok I installed the new GTX 1660 Super and redid the test. Now my SSD is "way below expectations!" It's still "outstanding, but now it's 253% outstanding but way below expectations at 30%ile. And my GTX 1660 Super is "below potential", how do I fix this? I installed the latest drivers for all. Is...

oh wait wait wait no you saw the wrong one lol it was the 'Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB", yeah I know the old ssd was crap thats why I bought the new one haha See the image below: See how it says "performing below expectations"? Why is that? How do I improve it? Is it due to a bottleneck from...

How do I update the firmware? I installed the SSD today brand new. Do I go to Device Manager, then right click the SSD then click "Update driver" then "Search automatically for drivers"? I did that and it says I already have the best driver installed.

Here's a recording of my CPU and GPU fans and temperatures while I play a game: http://somup.com/cY6o1llkqw Towards the end of the recording is where I was lagging the most, you can see the graphs are highest there

I will play a game and see how it is (I haven't played since creating this thread)

Ok so the CMOS has been reset!

Wait... when you said battery you meant that small silver circle battery at the bottom right corner of the CPU fan? I thought "battery" in step 3 of the instructions meant the VS550 power supply, removing its cables from everything for 5 minutes. So I just remove the silver button battery for 10...

Here's a screenshot of the driver manager: View: https://i.imgur.com/o9d2cYF.png as per the website you linked: there are no exclamation marks, or red "x"s, or down arrows, or missing hardwares or unknown devices. I used iobit's Driver Booster 8 Pro to update all drivers: View...

Not sure exactly how to describe my drives but I took some screenshots that I hope might be enough info?: View: https://i.imgur.com/Ekmn38y.png Here is what I think is the CPU cooler: View: https://i.imgur.com/wd5ocjQ.jpg This is how I reset it, I chose the "Keep my files" option: View...

Because the 1st thing knowledgeable people on PC forums always seem to ask for is a CPUZ report. I don't know how you were unable to locate those things, yet a newbie like myself was able to locate them. I'm sure I'll also be able to locate the CPU cooler and all the drives' information from the...

Here are screenshots of those items from the report, in the order in which you asked them, alongside screenshots from the CPU-Z program itself: View: https://i.imgur.com/gdmzMzf.png View: https://i.imgur.com/vgDw8yv.png View: https://i.imgur.com/sqRgo3d.png View...
