My FPS in games sometimes drops to 30 fps or 20 fps

[Pupp3t]

Happens once every 2 - 3 weeks but yeah, the title says it all. My FPS in games (usually CS & OW) drops to 30 - 20 instead of being 200 - 300 fps.

 

Specs listed below: 

 

GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition

Intel i7 6700k 4.00 GHz 8M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151

ASUS Motherboard ATX DDR4 LGA 1151 Z170-PREMIUM

Corsair Dominator Platinum Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz (PC4-25600) C16 Memory Kit

Samsung 850 PRO - 1TB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD

Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

NZXT S340 Mid Tower Case CA-S340MB-GR Matte Black/Red

Corsair 1000W RM Series

 

Haven't applied thermal paste in a while, it came on the water cooler though, tons of it. 

PC was built in July of last year

 

EDIT: Think I should've stated that the ordeal lasts for 2 minutes

How are the temps?

 

Use some monitoring software to track ram, cpu and gpu usage and see which one is being used the most or even capping - could be a memory leak if temps are good

How many other programs are you running in the background when playing cs or ow?

Skype/discord should not affect his FPS. This could be caused by an app that uses more than 50% of his resources(mainly a simple app such as the audio soft that crashes. Happened to me with the realtek audio manager) or by a little hidden virus that likes to mess with your life/PC

i also have this strange issue where my GTX1070 will sit at 23 FPS in Overwatch the first thing after i boot the PC and steadfastly refuse to run at 'proper' speed.   If i restart the PC (not shutdown/poweron, but restart) it is fine and will correctly run at 100-165 FPS (165hz monitor @ 1440p).

 

Havent worked out why yet - easy bypass as above though.

if you have Geforce Experience then all you need to do is click the 3 dots when you go into the update driver thing and you should have the option to reinstall the driver or uninstall it

GPU is hot! Think temps for that are 85C, how is case cooling/airflow?
