Performance issues after replacing motherboard, CPU, and GPU

[laiorai]

I'm fairly tech savvy but the niceties of hardware is where I occasionally fall short.

I recently upgraded my CPU, GPU, and motherboard. Since I've done that my computer has been performing worse than before the upgrade and I can't seem to find a reason.

New specs:
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z370-A LGA1151
CPU: i7-8700K
GPU: GTX 1080 Ti
RAM: 16GB

From what I can discern myself, I feel like my CPU might not be getting cooled properly, or that the problem is almost certainly CPU related. However, when I check temperatures everything seems in order.

I'm currently at work so I'm unable to get specific specs and information for you, but if someone could let me know everything they'd need me to get or any additional information that might be useful I can post it as soon as I get home.

Did you do a fresh install of Windows? If not that's most likely your issue

Yes, I did a fresh Windows install.

What did you have before?

And can you be a bit more specific on what you mean by worse

What did you have before?

Before I had:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-X99-SLI
CPU: i7 5820K
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 390


Radeon drivers have been wiped and Nvidia drivers installed.

And can you be a bit more specific on what you mean by worse

Well I don't have any specific benchmarks from before/after but I definitely get poor performance and less FPS on most games. Especially when compared to people with the same CPU/GPU combo.

Additionally I get poor response times on regular windows/browsers occasionally.

Does anyone have any potential thoughts on this?

Run this and post the link to the results. It's not the best actual benchmark but it can specifically tell what's running wrong sometimes

Did you do an actual new install of Windows or use built in application? The reason I ask this is because you replied to someone and said you wiped old Radeon drivers and installed Nvidia. With a new install of Windows you wouldn't have those old drivers there.

I used the Reset This PC function and didn't save any files. It didn't really occur to me that that might not actually count as a clean install. I said I wiped the old drivers and installed the new ones simply out of habit of answering questions before they're asked.

Okay I'd definitely do a clean install, and monitor your temps. Your CPU is 4th % either it's overheating or driver conflicts won't let it spin up
