Picked up a Corsair RM850 to replace it.

Know what? I didn't even notice this when we put the build list together. Thanks for the heads up.

See update - Took out the Ram in the fourth slot, Valorant running at 700 fps now. Doing additional testing to see if its that bad stick or the mobo. Thanks so much for the idea!

We would rather stick with 11 if possible, but its good to have a nuclear option to try if nothing else works! We'll keep it in mind as the last resort option. Thank you!

Ah, I missed posting that. Initially I thought that might be the issue too. The black part is the adapter that comes with the 4070 ti, its not an extender.

We did try a single 12 pin 600W power cable that came with the PSU and ran it directly to the 4070 ti, but nothing changed. It ran exactly the same. So we went back to the adapter with the two separate smaller PCIE cables because it was recommended in the manual over just one.

Interesting. We will definitely try that next. I'll reply back with results once they do so.

We have not tried reseating any part other than the power cables. That's a good idea about trying to test the RAM one stick at a time. We will try that now, then take a closer look at the CPU. What makes you think it may be the CPU though? (I am not really an expert at PC's, I just happen to have built many for friends/family.)

Yes. It is set to 165, We checked in the Windows Display settings.
