[SOLVED] GIGABYTE Z370M with i7 9700K

[ZENCER]

Hey , some time ago I built my pc and I slowly upgraded it , right now I have the GIGABYTE Z370M with i7 9700K CPU
but lately I noticed that my friends who are using the exact same CPU/GPU as me are having much better frames and performance at games then me
so I start wondering what is the issue I checked every windows/game setting and it appear to be something more complicated then I googled my rig and I understood that my MOBO isnt that good
so I just want to hear your opinions do you think that using the i7 9700K with the GIGABYTE Z370M could make the performance of that CPU go lower ?
just to note that I have RTX 2060 as my GPU and I dont have any temps issues or stuff like that.
Thanks for your help

your RAM, your BIOS settings, your Windows power settings, your motherboard's capabilities, your display settings and many more things can affect performance.

if you've upgraded any main components(motherboard, CPU, GPU, etc) without reinstalling a fresh OS, than you can also suffer performance issues due to internal driver or setting conflicts.

before exploring a motherboard upgrade i would;

update to the latest motherboard BIOS available,
perform a total wipe of your OS and the system drive,
fresh install of the latest version of that OS,
install of all the latest available motherboard drivers,
install latest GPU driver package from Nvidia.

research what the best performance settings within your BIOS may be,
setup a power plan with all performance in mind,
set OS, Nvidia Control Panel, and any monitor's OSD settings to properly match your display's resolution and refresh rate.

then see if your ingame performance has improved.

I’ve done almost everything you said here and yet we are having quite a big performance gap between me and my other friends with almost same rig , that’s why I was asking maybe that mobo which I’ve understand is not the best for gaming and high end hardware could be the difference between my friends who mostly have the Z390 Gaming X.
I have good ram(G.skill 3200mhz cl16)
I format windows many times already and I know how to setup all the power options/drivers settings in windows plus I have XMP enabled in bios

btw I have the GIGABYTE Z370M ds3h

what brings you to this conclusion?
what do you think would make this motherboard offer less performance?
and what exactly do you mean by "make the performance of that CPU go lower?"

as long as your CPU, GPU, RAM, and disks are operating at rated speeds
than the only limitation the motherboard could impose is not overclocking as well as others possibly could.

are you just comparing other's overclock results to your own and finding that you can't reach the same results?

Weak VRM's, that lack heatsinks. They can thermal throttle reducing clocks. I would say that board is not doing the OP any favors.

but if they are reaching and maintaining their set speeds than this wouldn't be the issue.

though the OP hasn't actually stated what their current settings are or if they are maintaining during gameplay or intensive CPU tasks.
so this could actually be the problem, or one of them.

I dont have any temps issues or stuff like that.

what temperatures are your components hitting while gaming?

monitor all your speeds(CPU, GPU core\memory, RAM, FPS) and all temps with an OSD while gaming
and report back with the results.
