Question Chronic stuttering in games (no loss of FPS)

[LunaticLizard]

Hi TomsHardware. I received parts for a pc build about 5 months ago and have been having issues ever since. When I am playing a game I get a stutter every 5 or so seconds that doesn’t cause any frame drops.

So far to resolve this issue I have RMa’d my motherboard (in addition to purchasing a matching motherboard to test), checked running temperatures of gpu and cpu, tried two different gtx 970s as well as a gtx 2060 super, I have installed Windows 10 on multiple different drives (m.2 and standard ssd), tried two different cpus 2400g/3600, done a full re-install of windows with all drivers included, enabled performance mode as well as a few other settings (please suggest even if you think I may have tried them I am desperate for a resolution) , I have tested multiple different Ram 16gb 3000mhz 16gb 3200mhz, and finally I have tested multiple monitors including a high end adaptive sync and gsync monitor 144hz 1440p. I appreciate anyone who attempts to solve this with me. Thank you

current specs

gpu gtx 970
CPU amd 3600
Ssd Samsung m.2 128 gb/Samsung evo 840
Ram 16gb 3000mhz Corsair vengeance
Mobo Asus Rog strix b450-f gaming
Psu Corsair 850 plus gold certified non modular

Have you got the latest BIOS installed for your mobo?

The RAM you have tried has been dual channel? 2x8gb in the correct slots?
