    Honestly, based on all of the rest of the troubleshooting inquiries I've seen lately, I think recent windows updates caused these frame rate issues. The fresh install wouldn't have fixed that since it would have just reinstalled the current update.
     
    Tons of people seem to be getting similar issues.
    I'd personally wait it out until at least the end of the month.

    Ok, I found a solution.
     
    Managed to install all the drivers, tried clean boot and CS:GO still wouldn't go above 170 fps. However, I noticed that the driver/controller app for my Kraken x61 cooling, CAM, has been always somehow forced to be turned on. By eliminating programs one-by-one, I figured out that CAM was limiting the power. It has never exceeded 10% CPU usage, but somehow managed to cap my CS:GO fps. 
     
    I would've never thought that updating CAM to the latest version would cause 200-250 fps drop in CS.
     
    Thank you all for the help!

    It depends on your location and current weather being experienced. Low humidity environments will cause a greater build up of static electricity, and fairly quickly too. And the voltages can be pretty high. A plastic grocery bag generates static buildup of about 25,000V in low humidity.

    Well I haven't read answers nor seen the video but here's my opinion.
    You could add one or more batteries in parallel apart from the main battery using a battery isolator. Then you connect the battery isolator to the alternator/battery terminals to charge the other batteries without draining the main cranking battery. It does not matter much the voltage the battery has, but the Ah (Amps hours). The more Ah the more it will last. To convert 12/24v dc to 110v/220v AC power you will need an "Inverter" or "Power converter" (they both are the same thing). Now let's start with basic info. A PC runs in DC. A PSU only converts AC Household power to DC (which most electronics use) so your pc runs. Inverters have this sine wave rating: Modified sine wave or Pure sine wave. There are others like square wave but they don't get called like that in the market, instead manufacturers just say that their inverters are modified sine wave. The power from the grid is Pure Sine Wave. Modified sine wave is a more cheap and easy to make sine wave. Power tools run just okay with modified waves, however, some consoles like my PS3 have signal problems. Mine had this buzzing noise and purple line crossing on my tv. This happens because the wave is not pure as it should be. However my rig runs great like normal. Tho a PSU can be like %3-5 unefficient because of the wave, but it depends on how the wave moves. Pure sine wave will have no problems at all because it is a clean, normal wave like the electrical grid. If you use a UPS on the modified wave, the UPS transforms modified to pure sine wave. Now the watts you should pick. If your rig uses about 700w max the inverter you need is 850w+ constant and double the psu wattage to get the peak in this case, 1400w peak. I reccomend a 1500w inverter/2000w inverter modified for putting some appliances into the car. Why modified? It is way cheaper for just plugging in your PC and maybe a fan and a mini refrigerator. Remember, peak is when you plug in the device that draws it for maybe 0.1 to 0.4 seconds and constant (On inverters/power generators) is just the max watts you can use without the peak.
    Tip: Get 100w more of if you can of what in total you use.

    if you aren't getting the most for your money with ryzen the i7 8700 is a better choice than the 8600K IMO, hyperthreading being more useful than 700mhz single core.

    Should really just sell one of the 1080s, there's little point in SLI/Crossfire these days.

    *forgot the RAM

    The cooler you had originally is not good enough and you don't need the fans
