Performance drops after upgrade from Intel 7th gen to 10th gen chips

F5F Stay Refreshed Hardware Desktop Performance drops after upgrade from Intel 7th gen to 10th gen chips

Hello, welcome! I’m glad you’re making progress with your build. It sounds like you’ve made some solid upgrades. From what you’ve shared, your current setup looks strong, especially with the new CPU, RAM, cooling, and storage options. The performance drop you’re noticing in games might be due to a few factors—let’s explore them together. Have you checked for any recent BIOS updates or driver changes? Also, consider whether your graphics card is still compatible with the new GPU and if there are any background processes using significant resources. If you’re experiencing thermal issues, ensure your cooling system is functioning properly. Let me know if you want help interpreting specific benchmark results or troubleshooting steps!

Did you perform a fresh system restore or just rely on the Windows "Reset this PC" feature? If you switch to a different operating system and encounter problems, the most effective approach is a genuine Windows reinstall—using the Windows Media Creation utility and transferring it to a USB drive works well. The "Reset this PC" option isn't an actual reinstall of Windows.

You can attempt to reinstall by doing a complete system reset, then installing again from the original source.

I’d test that approach, indeed. The feature you mentioned might be linked to an issue—like a conflict between the previous and current motherboard drivers.

Clock speeds vary across devices. Intel boost is active, XMP profiles are enabled, and the GPU is running normally. After a Windows reset, if everything functions correctly, performance issues should be resolved. Otherwise, there may be another cause—though I’m not sure without further investigation.

CPU operates at 5300mhz with AI overclock on the motherboard; GPU runs at 2850mhz using ASUS TUF 4070TI with XMP enabled and Intel Boost active. It’s functioning fairly well, though it’s showing slightly below average results for time-based tests like Time Spy, Port Royal, and Speedway.

Launch the Task Manager. A 13700K should show 16 cores and 24 logical processors. If you haven’t performed a clean install, your system might still be using old configurations. When the Task Manager doesn’t list all your cores and threads, open msconfig, go to the Boot tab, click Advanced options..., set the Number of processors box, press OK, and restart so Windows can recognize your new CPU.

I checked with my local PC shop. It turned out I had the wrong power cable for my GPU. After swapping it once, Spider-Man ran smoothly at 120fps with ray tracing enabled. Thanks for the tips!
