Hi
@CaseySJ
I've been using my build for about a month and a half now and I've noticed strange performance/stability issues.
The first is that I would randomly lose USB devices. Including audio which is detected as USB audio in this build. The computer wouldn't freeze, if I was playing video, the video would still play. Unplugging and replugging devices wouldn't fix it, only a hard reset since I can't use the keyboard or mouse anymore. It happens sporadically and at random so it's hard to diagnose. Not my main concern right now, just bringing this up in case it is somewhat related to my second issue.
My main issue right now is poor graphics-accelerated performance (I think?) in Photoshop and Lightroom. When I have a document with several layers, mostly related to color adjustments, the sliders drag considerably and the adjustment isn't smooth. This is worse performance on my 6800 XT and 13900K than on my old system that had a 9700K and a 5700 xt. Even my 2019 Macbook pro with mobile graphics performs better. I also checked the same file on another build I did with your Z490 guide (intel 10th gen and an amd 6600) and even that computer is faster than my newer build. I try the same test on the Windows partition of this same machine and the performance is normal there.
I recorded the screen to visualize the lag. It might not seem as much from the video, but it prevents me from making fine adjustments as it makes grabbing the slider difficult sometimes (as it can be seen around the 18 second mark)

I wonder if there is something I did wrong with configuring the threads/cores of my CPU or if my specific brand/model of graphics card doesn't like playing nice with Mac OS

EDITED to add better videos:
Here's me trying to make a curves adjustment layer in Mac OS. I have to turn off every other adjustment to get good performance

And here it is, same file in the Windows partition where I don't have performance issues
