I recently switched from an i7-12700k to a i9-14900k, increased RAM from 32GB to 64GB, and noticed the system performs worse in games compared to before. Overall speed feels slower on the MB Pro Z690-A with the Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR4 GPU.
Check your temperatures around the CPU. It's possible the CPU is throttling due to heat. Ensure XMP profile is activated in BIOS.
At first, I experienced temperature problems, but after upgrading to a larger radiator, the temperatures stabilized. However, turning on the XMP settings made things worse, so I had to shut it down just to play Fortnite.
No, I haven't checked your BIOS yet. Could you confirm if you've updated it recently?
Begin by installing HWInfo64, Cinebench R24 Launch HWInfo64, and checking the CPU temperatures. Execute Cinebench for 10 to 30 minutes, then compare your results with other 14900k users to assess how your CPU performance compares.
ran cinebench and the processor remained mostly in the low to mid 70s until it spiked to 92, then dropped back down and briefly displayed a blue screen around three-quarters of the time.
