New upgrade

Hi all,

Recently moved over to Ryzen 5900x and Z570 ROG Dark Hero mobo, I have 32GB of B-DIE RAM.

Question is my CPU boosts through PBO fine temps are OK under my custom loop, RAM is stable at 1:1 running at 16 16 16 36 1t at 3600MHz.

Have come across a weird issue though when comparing my Time Spy results it appears the GPU 3090 is being bottlenecked it is at 48oC under a water block..

So it is not thermal throttling, neither is the CPU as its in the mid 60s during the tests.

My CPU score looks OK, but my GPU score is poor 11K, that 3090 should hit 18k any day of the week.

Any ideas, I did go over the top on Windows, should I just clean install? This has me stumped.....

Are you sure you have all parts of the graphics card cooled properly?
Third party coolers might not cool memory and VRM properly.
