Upgraded my builds mobo and process to the ryzen 9 3900x + crosshair viii hero
Did a benchmark test and my ryzen is extremely under performing , see here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/20826813
100 PCs with exactly the same components, 64 performed better.

I put it in performance mode in au suite, temps were not going over 45, idle 35, average 40

any insight?

Look like your running default speed (Your running your 32GB DIMM DDR4 clocked @ 2133 MHz) - this will be likely source of issue. You need to use the DOCP profile for your RAM which I hope is somewhere between DDR4 3200 to 3600 which is best place to be for Ryzen 3 series.

Then re-test, post and see whats happening.

What are you doing in regards to cpu in the setup and are you using the latest bios 1001 ?

I see an improvement but CPU is down-clocking massively and need to work out why.

Yes i am using latest bios with all drivers updated from asus/amd
What exact settings would you want to see, see here from ai suite: https://www.screencast.com/t/w90kNxWw1uvO , https://www.screencast.com/t/GUGU8ojmJF

also not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i only connected the 8pin EATX12v_1 and not the 4pin EATX12v_2 ( my Corsair HX750i didnt come with a 4pin wire, unless i didnt look properly)

It appears to have them

specifically, bottom left first two cables, 2 marked CPU - they look like 8's but one might be 4+4 or they both might be.
