Like the title states, this thing has been bugging me since I built it. Compared to my Z97/4690k system for desktop/internet use, both with 2133mhz memory and the same exact SSD, both running windows 10 and AMD cards with 15.7.1 drivers - the Athlon system just feels so damn laggy.
Every single thing I do it hesitates for a split second before doing it, even something as simple as a right click on the desktop to open the menu there is a tiny pause before it happens. I've tried shutting off all the c-states and power management stuff but nothing seems to help.
Another example, I spelled a word wrong while typing this. I right clicked on it to bring up the spell checker in chrome, and it took 2-3 seconds to pop up. I went and duplicated it on my Intel rig an it was literally instantaneous. What gives here? I'm not talking game performance, just basic desktop crap that even my ancient E5300 has no issue with doing smoothly.
