Found the issue. So upgraded to 64gbs of ram not only was part of my new issue but fixed my old issue. So did some research into faulty ram. Didn't know it's fairly common. Even with name brand, to get faulty ram. I got 4x16gbs 3600mhz ram that my boatherboard is perfectly capable of. My issue is in the voltage. For some reason if I bring them passed 2133mhz they crap out. Put my old 2x 16gbs 3200mhz trident gskillz ram in. Noticed in the bios that they originally were operating at the default 2133mhz. Brought those good expensive ram up to 3200mhz no problem at all. Should have known that even though they were corsair. At 2x16gbs at 80 bucks a piece was too good to be true. Fun fact from all this. GSkillz Trident 2 16gbs Ddr4 ram at 3200mhz for $300 is better than the Corsair LPX 2x16gb 3600mhz at $80

My pc seems to be acting odd and idk if I should tear everything down, replace anything, upgrade anything. 

My pc seems to never get solid frames or stay on the same settings.

I have a 

Asus ROG Z370- H Motherboard

Intel i7 7th gen 9700k

64gbs RAM 3200mhz

RTX 3080

CoolerMaster all in one liquid cooler with radiator.

Power Supply: Corsair 850W

Idk if it's me or what the pc. Built during the covid shutdown. I feel like I need someone to tune my pc for me. From everything I see I should be able to play at 2k or 1440p at 164hz just fine. But I've tried just resetting nvidia settings to see if that helps. I just upgraded the ram and it didn't help at all other than no longer drops frames as noticeable on games like Battlefield. I don't make how to work afterburner or the Intel accelerator or what ever it's called. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Do all in one cpu liquid coolers have an expiration date. I've never put liquid in it nor does it have a reservoir to fill anything. 

No, once they stop working you throw them away. But looking at your temps they seem normal. What's your GPU usage in-game?

Premium brand AIO's like BeQuiet! and EK have a refillable reservoir that can make them last longer if coolant is low but that should never really happen in the first place.

My big issue is that if I open the task manager there's 28%of my cpu being used at idle. I feel like I've seen voltage spikes. That's why I feel like I need someone to go into the bios or use afterburner and tune it or overclock it. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/CornerCaboose/saved/#view=V7hjHx

Try a fresh reinstall of your GPU drivers using DDU

Can you describe what's happening to your computer in detail? I read through your post a couple times and I can't really identify a problem other than dropped frames which could be almost anything.

 

Are you on an SSD? Is it a SATA SSD? You might be experiencing slower than ideal buffering.

 

You specified 1440p gaming, but what games? What settings? If you have everything cranked, then even a 3080 might struggle, especially if it's being hamstrung by a smaller VRAM capacity. 

 

Have you tracked your wattage, temperatures, usage percentages, etc? Check out HWINFO64, where you can see minimum, max, and average temps and wattage. Launch the exe and select sensors only to see your system usage. 

 

Otherwise, I'm not sure there's enough information here to diagnose much if anything.

 

We can all throw out ideas and solutions, but without detailed information, we could be prescribing medicine for a common cold when you actually have the flu, to use a metaphor.

Yeah that's the problem. I don't know how to check any of this stuff. You would think there's a program that runs benchmarks your pc based on your setup and goes hey, this this and this a performing badley. Change these setting and retest. Instead we have benchmark programs that give you all the info and that's it. Tell the average user what to do. I hate it. I can build a pc from scratch no problem but I can't figure out how to overclock it or anything
