After upgrading performance is worse!

Hi, I ran several benchmarks and recorded the results. The computer was an i7 3770 on an Asus P8H77-V with 16gb 1600mhz ram and a GTX 770.

After upgrading my entire computer (more specifically just building a whole new one and giving the old one away) except my vidoe card, which I added to my new system. The new CPU is a 4770K, the new mobo is an MSI Z78-GD65 Gaming, I have different RAM but the speed and timings are the same.

Anyway, I get lower results in benchmarks now :( Why could that be?
 
Drivers, drivers, weird OS installation, drivers, it's a bloody benchmark so who cares?, certain manufacturers make their hardware show up as "faster" in benchmarks, benchmark is outdated, benchmark is just screwed up, you forgot to enable/disable some settings in the UEFI, it's a bloody useless benchmark, you didn't post the full specs of both PCs, etc,
 
It could take some time to determine. A few things I can name. I've built computers where sometimes the motherboard either incorrectly set the timings/speed for the RAM or even the CPU. I even made a weird discovery years ago that Asus for a while had a feature on their motherboard that could overclock your video card by 5% without your knowledge. I wish I could remember but I think it may have been "PEG link mode".
I would go into the BIOS and check everything. There was a site somewhere on BIOS settings but I can't remember exactly. It was something like Dvorak or Advark...? Anyway, it had a cartoon character wearing a crown.
 
I tried to check the memory settings in the bios but couldn't find them, to check to see if they were set right. However I loaded an XMP profile from my ram and retested butt my scores are still lower.

On an OC3DTV review (TinyTomLogan) he reviewed the 4770K in this board and it actually overclocked it to 3.9ghz automatically. I just tested it and my CPU does run at 3.9ghz, I'm pretty sure that's not a stock speed.
 
I'm such a moron, I didn't realize I had ShadowPlay enabled in the background :/ Problem solved.
