Thank you, if these other methods don't work out I'll do just that.

Yes, yes, and no actually. Looked into what that was and just disabled it with a regedit, hopefully that solves my issues.

Yeah the specs on my profile are my current PC, besides an additional 2TB NVME.

Yes, I have tested it both on and off and the issue persists. I have also used it for years now with no issues.

So as the title says any game I have been playing recently has been freezing for a second or two and then continuing like normal. Its really bothering me as this issue just seemed to pop up out of nowhere, I noticed it first on Battlefield 2042 after re downloading it and since then it has persisted in BG3, BF1, League, and others. I updated my graphics driver, put exclusions in my antivirus for my game folders, removed overclocks, and checked temps. Nothing seems to pop out at me, does anyone else have any suggestions or have experienced this before? Any advice helps, thanks.

Did that and still had that issue, updated the BIOS from F9 to F12 and am now trying to find a voltage that lets my PC boot.

I have done that

I was reading Vcore on HWInfo and CPU Package Temp. I would love to get into overclocking but I don't understand and I cannot see if any of my BIOS changes are actually being applied as it seems unchanged no matter how much I change it. Here is a screenshot of my voltage set to normal with a -0.05 set onto it, it still jumps way too high

Sorry, I am an idiot I found the settings but when I tried to overclock I ended up with a -0.125 on the voltage as however I changed the voltage I wasn't seeing a change in HWInfo

I do not see a DVID in my BIOS

I did look around for something like that but I did not see anything, google was not much help either with all motherboard bios's not having the same settings or same settings names for the same function.

I originally wanted to try and get my CPU to 5GHz but after seeing this probably not unless I can get temps down. I also noticed that whenever I would adjust the vcore in my bios and then check the voltage with CPUID it would be like 1.345 when I set it to 1.305. Is this also normal behavior or is this something wrong. Thank you for the temperature explanation though. Also according to HWInfo my cpu is drawing around 1.4200 volts as of right now but it fluctuates between that and the high 1.3s

Specs: i7-9700k @ 4.9GHz Z390 Aorus Pro NH-D15 3080Ti Coolermaster Case with two top exhaust fans added Please help me make sense of this as I am new to overclocking and I feel like this is abnormal. I ran Prime95 for around 10 minutes on Smallest FFTs, the temperature immediately jumped to 100C according to HWInfo64, throughout the entire test it said my CPU was thermal throttling and was hovering around 95C. With a Noctua NH-D15 I thought I would have no issues with temperatures, especially when the only overclocking I did was turn on Intel Turbo Boost which only brings my clock speed to a max 4.9GHz. Is this to be expected? Or is something wrong here?

Thank you for the info, I planned on having 3 120mm fans in the front from noctua, 1 in the back and 2 on top as exhaust.

I cannot see as my case fans wont let me see the rpm, they are plugged into aio pump ports because I ran out of ports.
