RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24G lower score after two years

Hello,

I have been having an issue with my 4090 recently that has stumped me. A few years ago, when I got the GPU, I ran some benchmarks, and my score was about average for my components. Recently, I cleaned out my water cooling loop and dusted off the fans as I noticed the CPU temp getting a little too high during gaming sessions. I wanted to double-check the performance of my GPU and CPU to see if it was back to its original state. To my surprise, my scores dropped quite a bit, and I cannot seem to figure out the cause. It looks like my CPU is down in score as well!

I have checked forums and trobuleshooted for days, but nothing seems to work. I have done the following so far.

1. Cleaned and drained loop (Temperatures seem fine and even better during testing) 2. Updated Motherboard BIOS 3. Made sure to select "Gaming BIOS" on the GPU 4. MSI CPU Gaming Boost turned on in BIOS 5. Resizable Bar turned on 6. Viturzialtion off and not installed 7. Single Monitor 8. 2 sticks of RAM vs 4 sticks (no difference) 9. Overclocking (you can see the lower recent score has a higher clock speed for both CPU and GPU) 10. G-Sync off 11. Afterburner and Rivatuner off 12. Memory passed Memtest86+ 13. Positive reinforcement 14. Purchased Etsy Witch Spell

If anyone can give me some more suggestions, I would really appreciate it!
