I'm having issues with my new build which is reusing some older components. The new components are:
Asus Z790M Prime mATX D4 motherboard
Intel i7 13700KF
Corsair H100i Elite AIO Cooler
Crucial P5 Plus 2Tb Gen4 M2.NVME
Existing Components
2 x 16Gb Corsair PC3200 DDR4 RAM
Samsung 950 Pro 512Mb M2.NVME
EVGA 850W P2 Platinum Power Supply
RTX 3070 Graphics Card
W10 Pro - all updates installed
Corsair Case
The motherboard is on the latest BIOS, uses XMP and other settings are at default. All drivers updated to the latest from Asus.
My issues are as follows:
I had originally performed the build with an ASRock Z790M motherboard but couldn't get the LAN to work so replaced with the Asus. I was getting similar issues with the ASRock board.
I have not performed a fresh install of windows as my existing installation was recognised on first boot - all I did was clone the operating system drive from the 950 Pro to the Crucial P5 Plus and then wipe the 950 Pro.
Before I go for a fresh install, which may or may not fix the problems, is there anything I should try?

My issues are as follows:
- Whilst I am getting full sequential 1m and 128k read and write speeds for the Crucial P5 Plus, under Crystal Disk Mark, the speeds fall to around 30MB/s for the 4k random reads and writes. This is well below what I can see the drive has been tested at elsewhere. The drive is in a heat sink. Similar issues with the 950 Pro.
- The CPU is not overclocked but throttles under Cinebench so that it starts out with a rating of just under 30,000 but after 10 minutes, I am left with a 25,000 rating. That's way below what I was expecting. The CPU is running over 90 degrees under testing.
- The Graphics Card is benchmarking at less than half the speed of typical GPU's under User Benchmark. This seems to equate to it's real life performance as even in CIV6, I am getting stutter.
