Did you make sure you set the XMP or manually set your memory kits advertised speed? 2133Mhz will make games run very poorly.

Did you really reinstall Windows (Not a reset) from scratch? Or are you just saying you did to try find different answers?

It is imperative Windows is reinstalled from scratch after a motherboard change. I do hope you're being honest because if not, nothing else suggested will work and only be a waste of time for you and everyone else.

Sure thing. See this guide;

How To - Windows 10 clean install tutorial

If you are looking for the Windows 11 Clean install tutorial, you can find that here: Windows 11 Clean install tutorial (Click here) Otherwise, welcome to the Windows 10 Clean install tutorial This tutorial is intended to help you, step by step, to perform a clean install of Windows...
forums.tomshardware.com forums.tomshardware.com

Backup any personal data because a full reinstall means a full wipe of the destination drive. Have an usb stick handy and is of at least 8GB in size. Follow the guide.

Before you do, if you don't have a dvd drive to use the motherboard driver cd, with another usb stick (any size, enough to store the driver), download the lan or wireless driver (which ever you use to connect internet) from the mobo site and put it a side. Just incase Windows doesn't install lan drivers itself and prevent you connecting to the internet.

After Windows has been reinstalled, let Windows updates do it's thing. Then visit motherboard and gpu website and download and install drivers.

I'm kind of doubtful the installation of Windows is what is causing the problem. The OP very likely doesn't have the memory speed set higher than JEDEC default of 2133Mhz and may have even installed the modules incorrectly so it's running single channel mode.

First we should check your memory settings by downloading and installing CPU-Z. Run it and switch to the Memory tab and check where it says Channel #. If you have 2 or 4 modules installed correctly, it will say dual for dual channel mode. If you only have one module or if you installed 2 or more modules incorrectly, it will say single. Still on the memory tab, what does it say for DRAM Frequency? Moving to the SPD tab, click the drop down box and select the slots until you find a memory module. Type out what the part number is for one of the modules. Once we know what memory kit you have from the part number, we can figure out what speed your memory should be set.

you were right after fully reinstalling windows no change happened! i downloaded CPU-Z and i have a dual channel DRAM frequancy of 1066.2 MHz SPD tab my part number is CMD 16GX4M2A2666C15 thanks for help.

Well it was a step that needed doing because most times transfering an existing Windows install from different hardware causes underlying problems.

Make sure motherboard chipset drivers are installed. And Nvidia driver from GeForce.com.

DRAM frequency in CPU-Z is displayed as half the speed you set in bios. Your memory kit is rated for 2666Mhz which would display as 1333 if manually set to the rated specs or using XMP. The memory timings on the Memory tab should be CL15-17-17-35 or close to that. Cas Latency should be 15.

If you haven't done it yet, enter the bios and enable XMP in the bios. To access the bios press the delete key as the system is booting up just after pressing the power button. In the bios you might be able to enable the XMP setting in easy mode, but if not press F2 to enter advanced or classic mode and open M.I.T. The XMP setting should be on that page and should say it's disabled. Use the arrow down key to go to the XMP setting and pressing enter should enable it. Press F10 to save and exit the bios to reboot the system.

enabling xmp actually made my fps worse and it dropped to about 20 so this is definetly not the solution please if you have any other ideas to help reply asap thanks.
