I just want to say thank you to you guys who helped me. I appreciate it more than you know!

This worked - its a whole new machine

Cooler Master Hyper 212 - I don't think it is this. I ordered a new motherboard so I will do a reapplication and reseat when it comes.

The 500gb SSD compared to the same model benchmark tests looks like it is under-performing is what I am saying - it is in the 50th percentile. I have a 128gb M2 drive that I am going to run windows on that is running very smooth that I will install the clean OS on.

If I have to replace the MB I am gonna switch back to AMD because it has never failed me. Okay I will try this - Should I install on my 128gb M2 drive? It looks like my SSD is underperforming on my benchmarks.

No - I also am on high performance power plan.

Is there any reason why a i9-9900k is running so slow? I bought it used from eBay and my work computer that has a Ryzen 7 2700x is running much smoother than it. All the benchmarks tell me that it is a fantastic machine, but everything that I do on it is sluggish including opening Photoshop...
