3-5 Times Slower Rendering In Premiere Pro

Hi all, I recently switched my system to the fractal design define r6, no real other hardware changes. In fact I made this switch 3 days ago and just yesterday my videos were rendering fine.
But alas, today my render times have doubled if not tripled in some cases. Here are my specs for reference:

8700k i7 4.8 Ghz
64GB DDR4 2400mhz RAM
1080TI
Corsair HX1000i
Noctua DH-15
Asus Maximus Hero z370
Samsung Evo 960 M.2 Drive
Raid 5 External enclosure for media

Initially I thought that I missed a step or possibly even shorted something out hardware wise during the case swap, but again, the render times were absolutely fine yesterday. I checked the logs in adobe media encoder to insure this.

Some of the steps I have already taken troubleshooting wise:
1. Reinstalled the cooler and replaced thermal paste
2. Ran crystal disk mark on all hard drives and made sure scratch disks were set up properly
3. Down-clocked the CPU to 4.7 and then even to stock speeds

One issue I was having earlier today was getting high temps while exporting (82C). One thing that I'm worried may have happened is that I burned out the CPU and now it is messed up. Though when I was exporting videos at 4.7 Ghz I couldn't notice any thermal throttling going in in AI Suite 3.

I have yet to preform any stress tests, not sure if this would help isolate the issue. I wanted to check on here first before reinstalling the OS, Premiere, or anything like that since it was literally working yesterday and is most likely a hardware issue.

Everything else seems to be fine while playing games, editing etc. If anyone here has any insight as to what might have happened, much appreciated.

Thank You

Aaron

Might be worth it to give us some render times,is it possible that you where using the GPU before and now you don't? Sometimes software reverts to older settings.

Yes this is what it was... lol thanks. I've never even touched the GPU CUDA setting in Media Encoder so I have no idea why it reverted back to software only.
