Question Terrible fps and stuttering on new high end PC?

[Swell_Jell]

I just finished building my new PC only to find that any game I play runs terribly. It doesn't seem to matter how demanding or not the game is. I've tried resetting and turning on the XMP setting in the bios, but neither worked. I'm not sure what else to try. This is my first build and as far as I can tell everything is working as it should. Temperatures don't go far above the average idle temps when running a game, and task manager indicates there's no bottlenecks with CPU usage or memory problems. What am I missing?

Just finished, like seriously just turned the machine on or?

Did you go to the motherboard manufacturers site and download all the drivers and utilities that pertain to your use/system?
Did you go to the manufacturers website and download the newest graphics driver?

When a PC is first built, it is not unusual for Windows Update and other things to be running in the background which could be causing performance issues.

Are you connecting monitor to GPU?

Latest BIOS?

Latest chipset drivers?

Latest Nvidia drivers?

What are you using to monitor temps?

You might want to update the BIOS to handle the RAM speed. For a long time 6,000MHz was the upper limit for Ryzen 7000, with the later BIOS versions it's possible to go above this...not that the 7800X3D improves much with faster RAM.

I'm super late on this I know, but I did this as soon as I saw your message and it did just the trick. My computer knowledge is not great so I was pleased the solution was easy. I'm grateful for your help!
