The performance drop was significant after pairing the i79700 with the ex b365m-v5 motherboard.

My friend mentioned that this board creates a slowdown for the processor.
We can't precisely quantify the performance drop. However, it's likely not significant since, aside from VRMs, most motherboards handle things similarly, especially in gaming. With a 9700 chipset, it should work well on a B series board unless you're overclocking, which is the main factor affecting performance.
Executing a performance test now—Cinebench R23 for about ten minutes, no interruptions. What cooler would you prefer?
