The benchmark

Seems to show your cpu needs a little help.

Notice where your cpu shows 80% and the norm is 84%.

So get the latest bios and then rerun the benchmark.....see if anything changes.

Only a few oddities.

1. Driver Booster. Loads of issues with such. This can AUTOMATICALLY bread a working good PC.
I suggest removal and install drivers from the makers for what you have in their suggested order.

2. BIOS is just 1 version old.

For Ryzen's I always keep up (for now.)

3. Be sure the following is turned off:

Yes, you skipped the SSD so you'll miss out on a lot of performance there.
