ive just upgraded my GPU and something doesnt feel right

The 3D Mark score is alright, but a little lower than I'd expect.

Can't see any other obvious issues, but your CPU's power usage is low, assuming you were running the sensor during gaming load?

Can you run Cinebench?

I wonder how much your ram might be holding you back. 3200Mhz CL22 seems slow.
Everything else looks ok. CPU might be considered to be a touch on the warm side considering the low usage but it's far from throttling so nothing to worry about.

Maybe the cooler on the CPU is not adequate?

Is Cinebench like Cinnabon? Run cinebench while running a specific game? I have a wide selection.

I have took the glass panel off the side of my case and replaced it with the mesh one to see if that helps a wee bit with the cooling, but maybe getting a decent cpu cooler to help with the cooling down of the CPU?

I can't tell. Were you running anything demanding like a game alongside the hwinfo sensor tab?

No, Cinebench is like 3D Mark, but for CPUs. Don't run it with anything else.

I just want to check your CPU is performing normally.
 
Have you only just received the card? you could potentially try to return it?

Under distance selling etc. It wasnt what you expected (eg assumed a big uplift, got only 10 fps)

Sounds like you got sold down the river by nvidia's bullshizzle.

My comment on CPU temp was based on this 3DMark graph. During the graphics test his CPU usage was sitting in the 10~20% area with temperatures in the high 70s or low 80s.
Boost clocks all seems where they should be so I really don't think cooling is an issue, but only a gaming session with HWInfo running in the background would really answer that question.
