Hello!

Here's my situation. I upgraded from a B350 with 5 1600 to a B550M Steel Legend with a 5 3600 and the frames are worse with the upgrade (1080p). Same RX 580 4GB card. RAM is also XMP like before.

The motherboard BIOS is out of the box 1.80, I installed the chipset that was in the download list for windows 10 in the official support site. What can be the cause of the huge dips and low fps in games?

Here are Cinnebench R23 results.

Can you give specific examples of where you list performance? Both those benchmarks looks ok

In game benchmarks. I've tried Heaven benchmark and War of rights built in benchmarks so far. I have RDR2 to compare with previous results as well. I'll do it all again and give you a shout, maybe it was just a temporal thing.

I ran 3 benchmarks, 2 games and heaven. Seems to have normalized itself. This combo performs a tiny bit better than the previous 1600+580 results that I've recorded.

Strange. Yesterday and earlier today it was really sluggish. Now all of a sudden it's revived and working as intended, not that I did anything to fix it.
