I upgraded the last component needing an upgrade, the SSD. it was doing quite well before, even on a shitty SSD.

Do you still have that SSD or perhaps another one?

If so, Install It and see how It performs.

I do, but the reason I removed it was because my PC wouldn't boot windows with it plugged in for some reason. I ended up clearing and removing it. I'm gonna send my PC to a trusted friend and have him take care of it. Appreciate your help.

It may come down to a process of elimination to pinpoint the Issue.

I'm very Interested to read the outcome, so If you remember, please tag me.

I recently completed my $2500 build and wanted to benchmark it. I used User benchmark and placed 13th percentile overall. I have never seen results this bad. Prior to this benchmark, I changed one thing. I overclocked my GPU through Afterburner. The reason I Overclocked in the first place was that my GPU was underperforming in the 30th percentile. I followed a guide online and overclocked making sure everything was good through Kombuster. Core clock is now at 75 mhz and memory clock is at 15. To rule out the overclocking I reset it to default settings and placed even lower this time. I'm not sure what to do.

UserBenchmark results: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/55511182
Nothing taking up space in task manager.
Any recommendations?

What temperature is your CPU operating at during the benchmark?

peaked at 80. average was around 70. I tried monitoring temps while running other benchmarks but they wouldn't allow me to have another window open during the benchmark. Using NZXT Cam to monitor temps.

Ok, I’d maybe start by clearing your CMOS then just enabling XMP in the BIOS and see how your benchmark goes after that.

CMOS cant be the culprit. XMP has been enabled since day one. UB may have been the real culprit. Other benchmarks seem to be running fine. I played Horizon Zero Dawn last night on ultra settings, and the game ran flawlessly. Although, I had NZKT CAM up in another window, and for some reason, it read "GPU Usage 3%" Not sure what's going on there.

This Is bizarre.

Apart from the one giving you Issues, do other benchmarks and games run fine?
