It is

I flipped my AIO fans over to exhaust and my temps went up on my processor, both at idle and at load. My idle used to be ~26-27C, now it's at about 30-35 (sometimes 40!), and in game my max temps I was seeing in Fallen Order went up slightly from 50-55 to 55-62. Is this normal, or should I reseat my AIO?

I have a Fractal Design Meshify C and an RTX 2080, I didn't add any extra fans to the case (other than the ones for my CPUs H110i). While playing Fallen Order, my GPU was reaching 80c with the side panel on. I tried removing it, and the temps dropped to 69c eventually. What I wanna know is how can I improve the airflow inside my case so this doesn't happen? I've uploaded a picture of my case as it currently is. Is the top rear fan an exhaust fan? If it isn't, would flipping it around help the issue?

Literally only happens with Origins and Odyssey, I played Syndicate and Unity and no issues. My temps have never gone over 62 I've tried running Unigine Heaven but saw nothing of the stuttering I'm seeing now.

They're both at max performance

This could be a possibility, will check the RAM thank you.

Someone on another thread told me that it's due to Windows NT scheduler. Basically when a processor has threads the NT scheduler uses those to run small background processes while the main cores focus on the game, and vice versa. However without hyperthreading the main cores have to momentarily stop what they are doing and run those processes, which causes the stutter that I'm experiencing. I'm just gonna get a 9900k and be done with it, don't feel like having to change motherboards just to change processor, even though the new AMD processors look pretty juicy.

I've got a Z390 Aorus Ultra, so VRM is most certainly not the issue. I'm thinking of just refunding the processor and getting a 9900k to be honest.

That's worrying then. Outside of Alexandria it runs fine, no stutters except for once in a while. However, as soon as I get into Alexandria, it starts stuttering like crazy. I haven't OC'ed my CPU, so it can't be that. Also there was this one time when loading an area, the game froze completely right out of the loading screen. My computer didn't freeze, only the game. There was also another time when it was loading for 5 minutes before I finally gave up and restarted the game.

Yeah games on the laptop are set for 144hz I said it in the post it's a 2070 I wasn't before, then it was stuttering, so I capped it at 60 fps.

Yeah, both my desktop and laptop are 144hz

Good to know, but then why does it not happen on my laptop? It doesn't stutter like my desktop does.

I have what I’d think is a fairly beefy PC with an i7 9700k, a 2080, 16 GB 3200mhz RAM, 2 SATA SSDs, connected to a 1440p 144hz monitor. However, while playing Assassin's Creed: Origins, I frequently experience micro-freezes lasting anywhere from 2-3 seconds in Alexandria and other cities like Memphis, where my processor is pretty much constantly pegged at 100% usage. This only happens with an unlocked framerate, if I limit it to 60 in-game it has no issues. What I want to know is what is causing this. Is it my processor reaching 100% usage? Or is there something else wrong with my system? I have a laptop with an i7 8750h, a 2070, 32GB 2666mhz RAM an nvme SSD, and a 1080p 144hz monitor and I don’t experience these issues in big cities, which is strange considering it is a significantly less powerful system. I have also played Odyssey and the same thing happens in large areas when the processor hits 100% usage. However, my laptop's processor also hits 100% usage in Odyssey but doesn't stutter/freeze like my desktop, so I'm starting to worry something is wrong with my PC, or maybe I messed up when building it. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is it the lack of hyperthreading in the 9700k or something more serious? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
