Having issues with my GTX 760 after mobo change

[StreetSweepr74]

Hello everyone

I recently changed out my mobo after it fried. I did a clean install of windows 10, updated my bios, updated my nvidia driver, but i still get poor performance in games when I used to get decent performance

One question I have about my GPU, is that I'm 99% sure I only had 2 6 pin connections going on it, when it takes a 6 and a 6+2.

I had the mobo installed by the guy who sold it to me, and he plugged all of them in. I unplugged the +2, and there was no change.

my PSU is 620W.

I'm thinking maybe my mobo is defective.. as I'm out of ideas as to what the problem could be.

that is my latest benchmark, and im running FurMark GPU burn in and averaging 64 FPS.

Any ideas?

I'm going to be building a new pc once amazon parts arrive, but I'd like to give this pc to my fiancee..

Did you look at the benchmark score you posted? The video card looks fine but the CPU and hard drive do not. What is the brand and model of the power supply? Make sure everything is seated properly, all power plugs are in the motherboard including the CPU power and check that the CPU heatsink is on properly with a good application of new thermal paste. "good" not meaning a lot, but a nice coating across the top. Try a new SATA cable on the SSD drive, unplug any drives that is not the boot drive, including that USB stick and test things again.

I've had fluctuating benchmark scores. I just updated my bios which boosted my score a bit, but the GPU is definitely struggling. I used to be able to play pubg no problem and now I get 5 fps in the game.

I'll crack the case open tonight and take a closer look at the CPU. I'm not experienced with thermal paste so I might go back to the shop that sold me the motherboard.. But I'm thinking the mobo is defective.

From the link you put in, your CPU is not doing much of anything, it's is on the lowest 1% of benchmarks

LGA1155, 1 CPU, 4 cores, 8 threads
Base clock 3.4 GHz, turbo 2.15 GHz (avg)
Performing way below expectations (1st percentile)

The hard drive was also in the 1% range.

The video card was fine.

EVGA(3842 2765) 2GB
CLim: 1293 MHz, MLim: 1502 MHz, Ram: 2GB, Driver: 384.76
Performing above expectations (61st percentile)

Turns out it was the thermal paste. Reapplied it, and the CPU performancr shot up. GPU is working much better now too.

Thanks for your help guys
