Underperforming system
I recently assembled my setup with a 32Gb Kingston Fury 3600, a 6700X, and an MSI B550 gaming PC. It seems to be significantly lagging behind the FPS benchmarks on YouTube, often missing nearly half the frames in most games. I’m confused and concerned, especially since this is my first build, and I worry I may have wasted my investment.

What applications or games are putting a strain on your system?
When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to provide detailed system information. Please list your specifications clearly, such as:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
RAM:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model.
BIOS version for your motherboard?
If you're using Windows, try using DDU to remove all GPU drivers from your system, then manually reinstall the newest drivers from AMD's support site. Open the installer, right-click it, and select Run as Administrator.
I would ensure you proceed with UserBenchmark and execute the test. This will compare your results with other real builds, offering a solid measure of your performance. Anything under 80% should raise some alarms, though it's important to note this could be affected by overclocking or differences in hardware. It's also useful to check your CPU clock speed using Ryzen Master after installing new drivers. After that, open dxdiag and verify it displays 32GB RAM. Make sure all connectors are secure, and consider other factors since performance can vary widely.
