Extreme frame drops

Hi,

I have been noticing extreme frame drops recently: i thought it was due to CPU temps first, so i bought and installed a Noctua NH U12P SE2. Cpu now stays around 55°C while gaming. BUT:

On BF3, Playing at a smooth 80FPS when every 5 to 10 seconds drops to 0 for a second or so, and goes back up to 80 fps... it's unplayable, same for watch dogs, borderlands 2.. monitoring with NZXT cam, ram load stays under 80%, CPU about the Same and GPU about 95%.. the only thing i could think of is my 5year old drive, only 10Gb of space left on it (WD Green 640Gb) i don't know if this is the issue, because i don't see anything else.. everytime i boot the PC it's recognized as a new device on the cam software

 

Hope someone can help me and yes, i'm latest driver blablabla, i have tried turning it off and on (lol)

Thanks :)

Your HD is most likely the issue, you tried freeing up some space on it?

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Try monitoring GPU activity with MSI Afterburner, then post back.

2 Of my HD's are a bit temperamental, if they are more than ~85% full they sometimes take forever to load files, but as soon as i free up some space, it works like normal.

reboot... That's how BF3 started to drop to 3fps for me...

 

I've uninstalled BF3 for now and I don't trust EA enough to get BF4 or Hardline (unless they become free)...

I Use to love bf3 on console, so i built the PC to play it.. Still love it, but bf4 is crap, must've played it 5-6hrs at most. It's funny 'cause BF4 is free at the moment, haha
