OK so let's get some history of this machine of mine out and into the open here. I have an ASUS P8Z77-V motherboard, 16 GBs of Corsair Vengeance PC3-12800 (1600MHz) at 9-9-9-24, an Intel Core i5 3570k CPU at stock clock (yeah, I know), an AMD R9 380 GPU, and a Samsung 850 EVO SSD as the primary boot drive. I also have four other hard drives hanging off the SATA controller(s). The motherboard has a third-party ASMedia SATA controller onboard but I don't use it except for one hard drive that's slow as heck anyways so I don't mind if it has slow performance; it's used mainly as a data dump.
Anyways, now with all of that said let's get onto why I made this thread. Everything about this system seems sluggish. Windows is sluggish, programs load slow, even the Task Manager opens up slowly as if it's hesitating in loading.
Yes, I made sure that the Samsung SSD is running off of the Intel controller, yes TRIM is enabled and has been verified to be working as per TrimCheck, and yes it booting in UEFI mode.
My father's Hewlett Packard notebook PC that has a Core i7 2670QM (quad-core with Hyperthreading) mobile chip is faster at some tasks than my Core i5 3570k and mobile chips are supposed to be slower than desktop chips.
Why the hell is this system of mine feel like it's dragging a boat anchor behind it? It should be speeding along like a Ferrari 911 Turbo yet it feels like it's a Ford Pinto sometimes. I don't understand why this system is acting like this and it's aggravating as all hell. I can't seem to find where the damn performance bottleneck is in this system of mine.
Have I simply reached the limits of what this system can do or is there something wrong with it? I have tried to overclock the chip to 4.2 GHz but it didn't do an ounce of good and resulted in a barely negligible increase in performance. Can I fix the system that I have or do I simply have to accept that it may perhaps be time to put this system out to pasture?
