My CPU is underperforming, how do I fix it.

[enterman1]

I took a couple of performance tests and it all of them my CPU seems to be lagging behind what it's suppose to be it's normal performance. Any solutions?

GPU: Nvidia GTX 760
RAM: 16 gb 1333
Resolution: 1680x1080
Hard: 500gb Most of it occupied
Directx 11
Windows: 7 Ultimate
Motherboard: Gigabyte Ultra durable 4 series not sure which one)
NOTING OVERCLOCKED

The first thing to look at it that hard Drive that you say is mostly occupied. A nearly full hard drive will certainly slow down the computer.

I agree with Ranger, go get Auslogics defrag and run it and see how fragmented it is. Disk Defrag - Best Free Defrag Software For Your Hard Drive
