With a motherboard change, and trying to keep the old OS, there are 3 possible outcomes:
Haha I only play simple games like Valorant that can be played on a potato pc. I simply upgraded for the aesthetics alone as of now. I wanted a clean white build with expensive parts which turned out quite nicely. I've had this motherboard for over 3 years and I just so happened to not realize how limited it was 🙁. The only reason currently for me not upgrading is the labor of changing it out. And also now reinstalling OS since I have a bunch of other things on my OS drive as well so I don't even know where to begin with that. Thanks for the advice

Well, I've said all I can and all that. I am just really pissed that I couldn't find a white 4070Ti when I got mine. Good luck with your (beautifully white) build, may she serve you well for as long as you run her.Haha I only play simple games like Valorant that can be played on a potato pc.

And the only reason you realized was that UBM report.
Haha it's actually quite funny because I walked into microcenter and when I looked they actually didn't have the white one I wanted on display. After asking one of the workers it turned out they had one in the back that they just didn't have up on display, and guess what... it turned out to be the exact brand one I was looking for. How perfect huh. Here's a link to the one I have. I almost ended up getting the ASUS TUF version which in my opinion doesn't look good and is very clunky.
I'd see if you can't get that mounting a little better, look at my comment in your other post about the mobo standoffs. I had a similar issue in my case which was solved by loosening the mobo screws and adjusting the board position (there's often some play), getting the GPU mounting as good as you can. I can't think of a situation where the GPU could be so out of line that it would affect performance without causing other, more serious issues. Confirm using HWinfo that the GPU is in X16 mode. And find a better benchmark suite. Frankly UBM is a slum site and I don't trust them. There's many benches like the stuff from Unigine that are free, or 3DMark for a fee, when testing your GPU.
No, you have to realize what UBM is actually reporting.
This is very important as well, and a reason I like hard data vs. a generated score. It's also very important as USAFRet points out, to understand why. As a PC enthusiast I will dig pretty deep into what makes my hardware tick, I do not expect everyone to do the same. A basic understanding of your PC's various busses and subsystems can often be invaluable, even if you aren't into the nuts and bolts of it like some of us are.
Motherboard, overclock, minimal running software, etc, etc.you're right, people with the same graphics card as me probably aren't dumb enough to still have a pcie 3.0 motherboard
4th line down, all good.
We already went through CrystalDiskInfo and found out that the reason it's running slow is because I have PCIe 3.0 instead of 4.0, for the case, I think it's the way the motherboard is that makes the holes misalign, I'm not sure on that but It's off, and lastly, the ram and cpu are running perfectly fine so I'm not worried about that.
You're not getting PCIe 3.0 speeds though you're getting half that so the problem isn't as simple as PCIe 3.0 v 4.0.
I ended up getting a new motherboard anyways since my current one is decently old, that should hopefully solve the pcie 3.0 problem and also the GPU socket problem. I'm okay with my ram being bottlenecked for now until I decide to change to DDR5. Thanks for the info though.
3200Mhz to 3600Mhz will only gain a few percent overall, I deemed it not worth commenting on when compared to the other issues OP was concerned with and it shouldn't affect SSD transfer rates at all as this is an SLC cache drive not HMB. Honestly unsure what effect RAM speed would have on HMB. Random Reads/Writes are the heart and are inline with expectation, quite good even. As for the low sequentials without direct access to the system it's hard to know. Their score is only slightly lower than my PCIe Gen 3.0 drive in sequentials, and pretty much the same for randoms, hence not bringing it up. It IS a different drive but same settings in CrystalDiskMark. Could be firmware weirdness on the Sammy drive I don't know (I'd expected it to be faster as well). Could the system use a tune up? For sure! And after the discussion last night I think ju1c3 has a few more tools at their disposal to do just that. Was a good chat overall I think. Anyways, didn't mean to dump on your comment so to speak, but last night I felt it was better to focus the discussion on the core issues rather than the smaller stuff. But since you brought it up OP is now aware (thanks for that) and can take steps on the new mainboard to alleviate the issues. I simply added my thoughts for context, as we did run around the tree a few times on this one yesterday.
FYI: You need an entire new build to support ddr5. New motherboard, CPU and RAM.
Yes I know, I bought a dd4 motherboard, not ddr5, Next time I upgrade I'll be going with ddr5. Also I have 4 sticks installed as of now. My XMP is enabled. You think the ram mismatch could be limiting my m.2 speed? damaging my ram? or are you just saying the ram could be held back by that?
