Chose to begin upgrading my CPU and GPU components. Updated BIOS to allow the new motherboard support. Installed MSI VENTUS 2x OC GeForce RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 2700, Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi power supply, Bequiet dark 4 CPU cooler, Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 RAM (32GB), and a replacement 2700 after a BIOS update. After reinstalling the 2700, performance dropped noticeably with some apps lagging. Replaced the 2700 with a new 5800X, which caused even slower startup times and occasional freezing. Technicians suggested upgrading fans due to overheating concerns, but the Wraith cooler didn’t help. Eventually decided to buy a 3700X for better cooling, but still faced compatibility issues. I’m considering returning the 3700X and moving forward with the 2700 and 3060 setup.

Usually I suggest starting with a fresh installation and upgrading the CPU. For optimal performance, especially considering drivers and previous installations, a new setup is ideal. Your cooler should handle it—though the 5800X does run hotter than the 2700, your unit still works fine. It seems there might be driver conflicts in Windows. You could attempt some BIOS tuning for PBO to improve results, but if you're unsure, watching tutorials tailored to your motherboard would be wise.

I haven't come across pbo tuning before. I thought about getting a brand-new Windows setup since I've had issues reinstalling it before, and I didn't want to have to re-download everything. For your question, if I were to reinstall Windows, I'd install the new CPU first, then boot from the installation tool and set up Windows anew on the drive.

The bios version you installed is unknown. I don’t have access to your system details. Regarding chipset drivers, I’m not sure if you’re using the most recent ones from AMD.

Updated to version 64a, imported the chipset drivers using the 3700x package, but upon restarting it didn’t appear to make any adjustments.

Xmp (docp) is ready. We're discussing the impact on performance. Provide benchmark data such as 3DMark or game scores for comparison.

XMP was installed, but my profile was configured to use RAM at 3400 MHz. Performance issues became clear quickly—games that started well with faster loading and higher frame rates (120+ on Destiny, 200+ on League) didn’t maintain speed beyond about ten minutes. Background tasks would lag or become unresponsive.
