Exzact

I've been swamped with work the last few weeks so haven't been able to try and fix this since my last post. Today i ran 3d mark and this is what the graph looks like. This usage spiking is what i was trying to describe happens in games Maybe I could do with better cooling but surely 75 Degrees shouldnt hit that that much? Edit: I ran this benchmark with 80% power usage on my GPU also during the graphics tests, task manager never reported anything higher than like 15% usage on both CPU and GPU

Im not overclocking at all its just the usage drops while playing games.

Unfortunately this hasnt fixed the issue, it made it less frequent but it still happens, except the clock speed wont drop now but frame rates still drop with usage

Not 100% sure how to do that but I'll look it up quick and have a look and let you know

Yes I have. I've tried High Performance, Balanced, and AMD Ryzen Optimizied.

I should clarify I'm only aware of CPU clock speed dropping but both CPU and GPU usage drops. It causes Fps drops in all games and inputs from mouse and keyboard are delayed due to low clock speed. PUBG seems to be the most frequent but it happens in CS, Modern Warfare and Dragonball FighterZ

After reinstalling windows and getting everything set up the issue is still occuring.

Okay, I'll give that ago now and see what happens. Thanks!

Even all my games or only the programs on the same SSD For reference i have an SSD with windows and a few games and programs like steam etc, a HDD with all my documents and majority of games, and a second SSD with some more games on. If possible I wouldn't want to reinstall everything....

No I didn't, I thought about it but i have other things on the SSD windows is installed on. I'm aware this is probably a dumb question but can i reinstall windows without wiping the entire drive?

While I'm gaming every 10-15 minutes my CPU and GPU usage drops significantly. I also checked Ryzen Master and it shows that my CPU clock speed drops to 800MHz during this period. I have tried running the following and nothing seems to help/find the issue: Running Memory Diagnostic Checking Thermals (nothing too high) Changed PSU Resat RAM Lowering GPU clock speed Installing latest drivers for GPU/Chipset/MoBo Plugging PC in else where to see it if was a faulty socket Reinstalled Windows Changing Power Options None of these seem to help. I recently built this PC and have been very busy so haven't been able to spend too much time trouble shooting. My Current Specs are Ryzen 5 2600 Asus Prime B450-Plus MSI Gaming X 1060 6GB 16GB HyperX Fury 2400MHz Corsair TX 750M My Old Specs were Intel i5 4400 Gigabyte MoBo (not 100% sure on model, Can find it out if necessary) 8GB Corsair Vengence (not 100% sure on speed, can find out if necessary) EVGA 500W Bronze MSI Gaming X 1060 6GB I wasnt having the issue with the old PC but I don't think that helps much because everything was changed apart from Storage and GPU Any help is much appreciated!
