I just installed a new motherboard and CPU to hopefully upgrade my computer yet i am experiencing frame drops and overall lower performance than my previous setup. Please help?

My CPU is never going above 29 degrees celcius when i play games so i don't think its a heating problem and i have already clean installed windows to the system in hopes of better performance.

My Specs are:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 six core ~3.6GHz
RAM: 32 GB of corsair Vengeance ddr4
MotherBoard: MSI B350 Tomahawk
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070

BIOS of the motherboard up to date?

drivers installed from amd.com and nvidia.com?

it´s more like a downgrade or similar performance in games from the 6600k to the R5 1600. Overclock the Ryzen to get the same and better performance than the 6600K

Not sure which i5 chip you are upgrading from, but a system with those specs should be able to play most games smoothly, especially with a 1070GTX.

29 degrees Celsius under load seems strangely low. You also seem to have an MSI Tomahawk board, which I've seen users having problems with it's BIOS and it down clocking their Ryzen processors to a low speed. Could explain the low performance and low temperature.

Could you download and run CPUz and report how many MHz the processor is running at? Then try running a game and seeing if it goes up to it's rated speed.

Did you reinstall Windows after the upgrade?

Also the 6600k has stronger but few cores. In games that only use 4 or less cores (most games) the 6600k is the better cpu, only games that use more cores/threads can the Ryzen catch up or win. For gaming this was at best a side step.
