Question Low performance after changinh mobo, adding 16gb of ram and fresh reinstall windows.

[uncle_mef]

Hello everyone, so as the title says, I just changed my mobo from an OEM Acer Aspire TC-886 to a ASRock B365 Pro4, I did a Windows fresh install and I added 2 more 16gb DDR4 2666MHz sticks of RAM, for a total of 32gb.
Before I changed everything games ran even better (for example Warzone ran at 110-120fps and now it runs at 70-90).
My setup is:
MoBo: ASRock B365 Pro4
CPU: Intel Core i5 9400f
GPU: MSI RTX 2060 Ventus XS OC
RAM: 4x8gb of 2666MHz Crucial
PSU: Cooler Master MWE 650 Gold V2 80+

My monitor is an MSI Optix G27C7 running at full 165Hz

Temperatures seem to be ok but I can't find out why now my pc is not as powerful as it was before, I only changed the MoBo.
I installed every kind of Driver, even using Driver Booster 9 PRO.
I really don't know what is up with my rig, can anyone kindly help??

delete thing like driver booster

what the ram speed running at?
cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
latest bios?

Never use apps like Driver Booster. They often cause more trouble than they solve.

You are better served getting drivers from your motherboard manufactuer, Intel, and Nvidia directly.

Got more or less 53-57C temps on CPU and 60-65 on GPU,
gonna check BIOS version, my ram is running at full speed btw

I already downloaded everything from these sites and nothing solved, so I tried that program to check if there was something else I missed

Did you evaluate performance using ONLY those drivers that were supplied by Windows itself during the install?

Do you show any bangs in Device Manager?

Can you show screenshots from CPU-Z - memory and spd sections?

There you go
Now I actually don't know why it says 1333MHz but in the BIOS that's different

What does "bangs" mean?

Yellow icons with exclamation points. They should appear when you first look at Device Manager if there are any issues.

They appeared but I updated all drivers so no more yellow exclamation points

Could be ...
after re-installation of windows and drivers - graphics driver settings are different or
ingame graphics quality settings are different.
For example - geforce experience may have changed some settings.

Hello everyone, so as the title says, I just changed my mobo from an OEM Acer Aspire TC-886 to a ASRock B365 Pro4, I did a Windows fresh install

Just to be clear, by "fresh install" do you mean a CLEAN install? ie: wipe the drive completely and install Windows?

Or did you do a repair/reinstall over the existing Windows install?

you added two sticks so you are mixing ram, look at each stick in cpuz and see what speeds you are running at
