Did a Userbenchmark today and saw that my setup is running a lot worse than when i had a i7 3820 at stock speed, with a p9x79 mobo back from 2012.

I did a bios update, chipset driver update, fresh install of Windows 10 Pro ( unfortunately now my cd/dvd driver from Device Manger is missing and nothing works ). But overall i get very low score for single threads after performing.
Even playing certain games i get very low fps drops, like WoW. Other titles like Doom and TW Warhammer 2 seem to perform very well with no issue, at least from what i've noticed.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

there are few things that explain the slowness:
1. CPU frequency reported as 2.2GHz - it supposed to be much higher.
2. you have only 8GB of RAM
3. you have the RAM in single channel
4. the RAM is clocked at only 2400MHz
5. the RAM timings are ridiculously high.

And don't expect it to perform noticeably better than your old i7 even after fixing all of the above.

It looks like the CPU is clocking at 2.2GHz for some reason. Whether it's stuck at this speed or is occasionally throttling is not yet known.

Run a game or benchmark again that puts significant load on the CPU to see if it ramps up as it should. If it's staying locked at 2.2GHz or less, that's definitely your problem.

Use a program such as CPUID HWMonitor, HWINFO or Ryzen Master to check your clock speeds for all cores.

It's definitely the clock speed on the cpu. I had the same issue when trying to overclock my 1600x on my asus strix x370-f a few months ago. It was fixed with a bios update, but that was several bios revisions ago. At the time all I could do was set it to stock speeds until asus fixed the bios.
