How can I locate the origin of the issue?
Thank you for your response and clarification! I'll check Task Manager again, as I only tried it during low-demand games before. Also, remember the comment about not knowing if I'm using Windows 10 or 11—I actually use version 11! It was mentioned in my first post but everything was fine then.
It would be useful to employ HWMonitor or HWInfo to track clock speeds and confirm power constraints on the system. DDR4-3600 CL18 will likely become a constraint for certain games, regardless of the settings chosen.
TPU still features the 12600K in their rankings and, despite using DDR5 with greater bandwidth, its latency remains unchanged. Techspot/HUB also mentioned it but opted for faster memory with lower latency, which may offer insight into potential performance under optimal conditions.
For a broader perspective, check video card reviews to see how performance varies across many titles. More demanding games often need reduced settings or upscaling to achieve better results.
I actually enjoyed it 30 minutes ago. I attempted the first one, so I went with the version after mine, but it reported "Selected file is not a proper BIOS," which made me give up.
