I just installed a new CPU (i5-12600kf), RAM (32GB 3600Mhz), SSD (990 Pro 1TB) and motherboard (MSI Pro Z690-A Wi-Fi DDR4). When I play CS:GO, I get 150fps which is lower than before with the i7-8700k. Sometimes it drops to 120fps. CPU usage is around 15-20% and GPU usage 40-45%. I'm playing at 1080p. I think there might not be a bottleneck, but maybe you can help me with this issue? Thank you.

What are the current temperatures on the new CPU? You can use the HWINFO program to keep track of the temperatures while gaming.

It gets up to 40C/104F max

Could it be due to the fact that you're connecting just one 8-pin connector to the CPU? (There are actually 16 pins, two 8-pins each)

Indeed, it's quite feasible. The i5 12600kf consumes roughly 30-50 watts more than the i7-8700k, which might make it feel underpowered at the moment. This significant difference in power usage is notable.

One 8-pin connection should suffice for a stock chip. The second pin is mainly for overclocking. Have you performed a new installation of Windows, and are the latest Nvidia drivers installed as well?
