[SOLVED] disappointing performance

[pmg225]

Good afternoon!

6 months ago I received my 3070 and I feel that something wrong is not right. I'm not getting the performance I expected or believed I would.
Before the 3070 I had a 1660 ti where the performance was equal or even better in certain games.

My build consists of:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Hexa-Core 3.4GHz w/ Turbo 3.9GHz Motherboard: Micro-ATX ASUS EX-A320M-GAMING RAM memory: G.SKILL Aegis 8GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3000MHz CL16 Graphics Card: MSI GeForce® RTX 3070 VENTUS 3X OC 8G HDD/SSD: 1 SSD M.2 1TB + 1 SATA 250GB SSD + 2 HDD 1TB Source (PSU): BitFenix Whisper M 750W 80+ Gold Cooling: AMD Wraith Stealth Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
Monitor Specs: 1440p 165Hz

My first guess would be from the CPU bottleneck. But after watching some videos of a build similar to mine (CPU and GPU) with better results. Leaves to question the RAM or even another defective component.
However, with the 3070 upgrade underway I was forced to upgrade my PSU from 430w to 750w.
After switching to the new PSU some problems arose.

• First day, Windows only detected a RAM stick. I turned off the computer and swapped one stick slot for the other and it was OK.
• The next day the computer started beeping that indicated it had no GPU. I turned off the computer, took it out and put the GPU back in the same slot (still 1660 ti at the time)

With this, I soon began to doubt the stability of my Motherboard.

Today, 6 months later, I don't know if something is really damaged causing general instability, therefore worse performance. But not other problems happened since.

I would appreciate any input from you, thank you!

what on the HyperX Fury 240GB? it only got 4gb free

what the cpu/gpu temp during game?
brand and model of the psu?

A320 motherboard, don't see those that often paired with a 30 series card. I might argue the somewhat low CPU performance is coming from the motherboard getting too warm. Something to monitor anyway. Investing in a decent B450 or X470 motherboard might be the way to go, but then you should also seriously consider a late model Ryzen.

Not sure about a Bitfenix PSU. They make fine cases, but no idea on their PSUs. Still, seems like it would be capable.
