I updated my hardware a few months back. I believe it is the CPU i have gotten. I got a bundle at microcenter which gave me a Intel i5 3570K and a ASRock z77 Extreme4. I have a feeling that the processors are not running at their max potential. I have not overclocked the computer and i am not planning on doing it. I should be running games on maximum seetings but because of the lag i cant even run them on low. (EX. Metro: Last Light should be played on maximum but with the lag i cant even play it) CPUID says its running at 100mhz with a multiplier of 16. I have tried to restore the motherboard to factory defaults, tried turning Intel TurboSpeed off, have updated the bios and reinstalled windows. I dont think its the graphics card.
tl: dr Intel i5 3570k
ASRock z77 Extreme4
EVGA GTX 660
8 gigabytes of ram
I think the processor is not running at its max potential.
