Tried that. I am now with everything replaced exept the CPU. (have lend a 1080 from my flatmate) Same Issue. I have delided my CPU and overclocked with 1,45 V... I guess I have permanently damaged my CPU now. Soooo I will run the testing now for a week with the 1080 and if I still have the same issue and my flatmate hat no issues with my card what so ever, the only thing remaining to switch out is the CPU ... -.- Thank you still for your tips. :)

Ok, it is not the motherboard... So I just bought the Aorus Master z390... still same issue here... getting a little crazy here. Just for curiosity I will change my main bootdrive and see what es happening.

Hello again. So I know where the answer lies. It is the motherboard 99%. Switched even GPU with my roommate and got the same stuff going on. Can I fix that or is my motherboard broken? Maybe motherboard gets too hot etc? Edit: Motherboard sits at 63 C° under load, so this should be just fine

nobody any idea?

Hello there, I have now for about half a year experienced a phenomenon which I am completly lost to understand. What happens: I fire up my computer and everything is fine for the first 2-3 hours. Then, my GPU (2080 ti Black) has sudden performance drops. Drops happen under slight to heavy load - only browser usage is fine. I attached a screenshot in the attachmentts where you can see what I mean. all my 3 Displays (2 x 1080p, 1x1440p) freeze for about 1-3 seconds, and everything is back to normal. Therse performance drops happen about every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. What is my setup: CPU:Intel Core 8700k Motherboard: MSI Z370 Gaming M5 RAM: 2 x 16 GB GSkill neo 3600 CL 18 GPU: 2080 TI Black PSU: BeQuiet Straight 11 1000W Harddrive: 512 GB SSD (98% remaining "health") GPU - Cooling: Standard air cooling - Lian Li O11 dynamic with 9 case fans (6 in, 3 out) What I have tried so far: - I already reinstalled windows and all programms - tried a different harddrive as bootdrive - lowered gpu power usage and temperature - scaled down graphics ingame for less load (but as I said the amount of load does not matter) - opend up case while gaming for more air flow - checked if all fans work correctly - cranked up gpu fan speed to max - upgraded from old 2400mhz ram to 3600mhz - upgraded PSU from 650W to 1000W - different cables for power delivery - used different PCIE slot on the motherboard - resetted all bios values (no OC whatsoever) - updated BIOS - (ofc checked drivers and tried different versions) - (ofc cleaned all the case fans, gpu fans from dust) Additional Information: - screenshot was taken during Borderlands 3 gameplay - the second smaller drop was when I tabbed out - the performance drop is highlighted yellow - a restard of my system "fixes" the problem for about 10-20 mins - then the same problem occurs The last thing I can think of is: motherboard or gpu is broken. If you got any experience here or any kind of suggestion what I could try to fix this problem I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you for your time and have a great day, PhotonMan
