Do you think your top-tier PC isn't performing well?
Do you think your top-tier PC isn't performing well?
I feel like my PC is under-performing.
I bought all the parts close to 1 year ago, and I gave up searching for the problem as I never really found it.
I'm playing on 1080p and I'd like in the future to buy a new monitor, something like 360 Hz, 1080p or 1440p.
But I'm having lower performance compared to benchmarks I've seen on the internet.
Some examples :
On CS:GO, getting 250-350fps, low settings
On Overwatch, getting from 300 to 550 fps, whereas on benchmarks they are consistently at 600fps (max cap)
On Valorant, getting 450 fps average on low 1080p but 99% lows up to 170 fps
It's decent yeah for average people, but it's way lower than people's benchmark, and imagine I want to go 1440 360 Hz, it will be nearly impossible, and I shoud be able with my config to do so.
I want the best out of my config.
I also work full time with my PC so i'd like not to do something too risky as I need it for the next day.
Here's my config :
Watercooling : NZXT Kraken X53 240mm
Power supply : Be quiet! 1000W Pure Power 11 FM 80 + Gold
RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB 5200MHz C40
Motherboard : Prime Z690-P
Case : NZXT H7
Graphic card : RTX 4080 16GB Gaming Trio

Some complementary info :
This was my first PC build.
In BIOS, for the CPU, "Performance Core Ratio" is Auto.
I did not install the last version of the BIOS as I don't know if it will change something.
I activated XMP.
I did not let the AIO go 100 % all the time as it has a quite annoying high-pitched noise.
Already talked about this on
another website
which is as they said kind of a "brother" site, talked a lot about airflow.
Something I don't know if it has a big impact, but when I built my PC, I used the SSD NVME with the OS and stuff I had on my previous PC and directly put it on my new PC, I did reset it (I don't remember if I reinstalled Windows with it or just basic reset).
I feel like the CPU is maybe the problem, the GPU is going fine, the CPU has a very volatile temperature.
If this can assist:

I just did it.
Presently:
Kraken enthusiasts >>> radiator <<< case fans
This is due to noise and temperature concerns.
Alternatively:
radiator <<< Kraken fans [case fans relocated to the top of the case as ^^^, assuming no additional fans are present]
I'm sorry the picture I shared is outdated. I flipped the AIO fans because the other site advised me to do so.
But the case fan down there is now facing the wrong way. For reference:
Click the userbench link in their second post.
I don't notice anything concerning in the UBM results that would indicate a significant drop in FPS.
