Intel I7 14700k underperforming

[GoaFusion]

Hello,

I recently updated my Gigabyte 790 Aorus elite AX bios and now my CPU has perfect temps, I get around 50C on 20% usage and it's pulling 70-90W. The thing is my fps went down I'm not getting the same performance I had.

I need some suggestions on how to improve the performance because I tried everything on BIOS settings it seems like whatever I enable gets Overriten at startup and it's stuck in this super safe settings.

Any help is appreciated.

I add a screenshot from HWinfo maybe it helps to narrow it down, I used all options from Chat gpt I cannot get a solution to this.

I'm no expert but I don't see any bottleneck when I'm getting 63% GPU usage 20% CPU and around 30% ram so only limiters I see is on CPU options.

3. Could you please share the game details (game name and version) along with the in‑game graphics settings currently used.

4. Could you also let us know whether the FPS drop occurs only in specific applications or games, or if it is observed across multiple workloads?
