Please keep it to 1 thread.
Hi, I've just built a whole new PC and i wanted to just ask some questions about the build and to discuss solutions for why some of my parts aren't working as they should be.
Specs:
Corsair 5000D Airflow Case
ASUS PRIME Z-690-P D4 WiFi Motherboard
Intel Core i5-12600k
RTX GeForce Gigabyte Vision OC 3070 ti
Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz CL16 4x8gb RAM
Samsung 980 PRO NVMe M.2 500GB (Boot)
Samsung 970 PRO NVMe M.2 2TB
Seagate Baracuda 2TB HHD
Lian-Li Galahad 360mm AIO
3x Lian-Li Uni Fans 1900 RPM
7x EZ-DIY FAB Moonlight fans 1300 RPM
I did have a Aorus 3070 ti master but have since changed it for the Vision OC 3070ti for aesthetic reasons and i have read its not a major difference. this is the bench with this card in https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/54027007 (Overclocked)
When i first booted up my computer and ran a benchmark everything seemed fine, my parts were running average but my GPU is for some reason running below average without overclocking. (https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/54089092) also my CPU is apparently throttling even though my CPU temps are completely fine running 30-40 on rest and 70 being the max I've managed to run even under full stress, and i've read online that it doesn't generally mean anything when user benchmark says your CPU is throttling? I have also ran a few cinebench throttle benchmarks and all seems fine so please let me know if im overlooking this or should actually be concerned about this?
Also something to note is that this is my CPU overclocked
But my concern has came after i have began to overclock my GPU in MSI Afterburner. I managed to get my CPU to core clock at 90+ and memory clock at 900+ https://gofile.io/d/XGsJnE and not crash Kombustor but none of this has seemed to make a big improvement to my performance and is still running below my potential. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/54089092
https://gofile.io/d/hk5Ca0 (3D Mark) this is my 3DMark score too, and again its still below average even though i have overclocked everything i can and tried to boost performance.
And where it gets really weird is when i optimized my PC a few days ago, i watched a video about what settings to turn off on ect to increase my performance, i didn't benchmark my after but decided to run one just now and i got a 1st percentile performance? https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/54135586 ive also noticed a 20 frame drop in the game i was playing the day before but just assumed it was due to a different part of the map.
The video i watched it this:

, the steps i took are:
The only other thing i have done in the past day is download a bunch of games, play a bunch of games and i created a scheduled boot in the task wizard but i cant see how any of this can hit my performance this hard or cause a problem at all.
Can someone please quickly go through this video and tell me if anything from here could be the reason for this sudden performance drop?
Disclaimer before i continue but i know that User benchmark can be crap for somethings and i was going to ignore this but this feels too consistent to be BS, ive ran a dozen benchmarks for different scenarios to check what could be the problem for my performances but i cant to make sense of this.
another thing to mention is that i have MX-4 Arctic thermal paste applied on my pc however it is 2 years old and just wondering if that could be a problem later on? my temps now are completely normal but im not the expert here so any concerns?
I should have a restore point to get to before i did these changes and if this does fix my problems then i will delete this post but if not then can someone please help me, my last computer was 3 years old and still way above average after optimizing my PC and i cant even manage to get above average after optimizing?

The video i watched it this:
, the steps i took are:
- Disabled most of the performance options 1:50
- enabled a boosted power plan, the Norton Utilities premium - Ultra performance https://gofile.io/d/hG3rgQ 2:40
- disabled notifications and programs i don't need in the Home settings. 3:20
- Disabled Xbox Game bar and enabled Game Mode and added 1 game to boosted performance https://gofile.io/d/e3F6IY 4:40
- And did nothing else after this, i purposely avoided activating more cores on boot because i've seen problems occur from doing this.
The only other thing i have done in the past day is download a bunch of games, play a bunch of games and i created a scheduled boot in the task wizard but i cant see how any of this can hit my performance this hard or cause a problem at all.
