[SOLVED] Is this normal? New GPU - 1660 Super

Hello everyone! A friend of mine directed me to this forum after a numerous amount of questions I directed at him.

I've just bought myself a new system with the following specs:

MOBO: Gigabyte B550M DS3H
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
RAM: T-Force 32GB (4x 8gb) 3200mhz DDR4 CL16
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 Super TUF Gaming 6GB
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus m.2 250GB , 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD. (I use each for different reasons)
PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold Fully Modular 550W

Now I've ran a Heaven Benchmark 4.0, to which I was quite shocked, and wondering if this is normal for my budget setup.

FPS:
15.2
Score:
384
Min FPS:
5.9
Max FPS:
31.6

Settings
Render:Direct3D11
Mode:1920x1080 fullscreen
PresetCustom
QualityMedium
Tessellation:Disabled



My GPU stayed at 33-35c the entire time - I only have 3 front mounted fans, 2 on top and 1 rear. Nothing crazy, but I thought the GPU would have heated up a lot more than that.

All my Nvidia drivers are up to date, windows 10 is fully updated - is there something I'm missing? Or is that about right for a score of my setup

Thanks in advance, happy to provide more details if I can!
