Hey All,

So I just finished building my new gaming system on Monday and it doesn't seem to be running too well. Seems bogged down at times and when I try and play H1Z1 the fans seem to wine and fluctuate speeds. The system also gets hot and drag. I'm unsure if it's the drivers I installed or maybe the heat sink is not flush with CPU as I've heard that really can hurt performance. Do you guys have any suggestions on what might be happening?

Here is my build:
