For some reason, it feels like my CPU isn't running at maximum potential. My old PC, which had a 3770k ran much more smoothly then the 4790k I had now. I had an ROG Motherboard before as I do now. However, the motherboard I have now required an BIOS update for the 4790k which was dated back in 2015-2016.
Here are the parts I have for the newer PC:

  • I7 4790k Devil Lake CPU OC 4.5 GHz
    ROG Maximus Gene VI Micro ATX Motherboard
    H100iV2 Corsair CPU AIO Cooler
    16 GBs Corsair Vengence DDR3 at 1600mhz
    EVGA GTX 1070
    Corsair RM 850x PowerSupply

The motherboard has nothing to do with performance (except chipset that connects PCIe bus, SATA controller and another system stuff).
It just a place for your components to sit and being connected each other.

Did you install the latest driver for your system?
Try to run a virus scan.
