Installed new cpu and now have worse performance

HARDWARE

Title basically, I dont know whats going on.

Wanted a better cpu so i bought a Ryzen 7 5700x, updated my bios because it needed a newer version to recognize the cpu, and installed the cpu and now everything is running slow. Opening up tasks takes longer and games are performing a lot worse. Previously everything was running smooth and wasn't as slow. Any help with what to do is appreciated

List of current attempted methods of fixing the problem:

-Disabled and reenabled XMP and Game Boost

-Installed an older version of BIOS in case the new one was funky or something

-Installed new chip set drivers

-Changed the pcs performance plan

-Confirmed all the wires in the motherboard were plugged in correctly in case i bumped something while putting the new cpu in

Specs in case their needed:

CPU - Ryzen 7 5700x (previously Ryzen 5 2600)

GPU - RX 580

RAM - 2 x 8gb DDR4 3200mhz Corsair vengeance

MOBO - b450 gaming pro carbon max wifi

BIOS VERSION - 7B85v2F
