Hello! I'm so sorry for those stupid questions. You will understand why after reading this, because I am not that smart yet. For the past couple of years, I have been using my i9 11900k and everything was fine until the years went by. Then I noticed frame drops, lag, and blue screens. It was time for an upgrade. I picked The AMD ryzen 7 5800x because it's not much of an improvement but did what I wanted to do with gaming and general pc usage. However, after installing it, I got the same problems if not worse than my i9 11900k. After a few days of lag stuttering, I decided to swap back to my intel cpu because the performance is so much worse... If anyone can help out or give me insight on what to do or try, I am at my wit's end. The problem I'm facing is While gaming using steam or just tabbing out to discord the lag is unbearable. I can't click scroll hover over stuff with the mouse All things I could do before I cannot do now. My girlfriend has same cpu as the Amd ryzen 7 5800x and I decided to go with hers as I have terrible luck with cpus She has a stock cooler while I have a water aio and the cooling was terrible! About 85-90c thermal trottling I thought it was doing after undervolting it or just removing the overclock I was getting the same laggy issue while the cpu was at 55-60c If anyone has anyidea on what I should do or try I'm pulling my hair out.. if I missed anything or have any questions please ask Specs Intel build -Mobo MPG z590 GAMING EDGE WIFI -cpu INTEL CORE I9 11900K -Ram corsair vengeance 3200 x4 (32gb) -cooler Kraken z53 -storage 250gb nvme -1tb nvme -2tb hdds x2 -Corsair RMx Series White RM750x Power supply Amd build -B550 aorus elite V2 -Ryzen 7 5800x -Ram corsair vengeance 3200 x4 (32gb) -cooler Kraken z53 -storage 250gb nvme -1tb nvme -2tb hdds x2 -Corsair RMx Series White RM750x Power supply

Are you looking at the Event Viewer for events and checking the Reliability History to see if things have gone wrong lately?

You can take a picture from sites like Imgur and post it, or simply type out what you're looking at right now on the screen or error message.

He has swapped it out, though he kept a few similar pieces. Because OP said they wiped the computer completely every single time with a fresh operating system.
