I have a GTX 970 MSI 4 gb I just rebuilt my pc and added a new water cooler for the cpu I have which is a I7-4790K and I have a MSI Z97 5 mobo and 16 gb of ddr3 ram so I should easily be able to play Fortnite on high settings with a stable 60 FPS but ever since I rebuilt my pc it’s been going from 60-40fps and it’s concerning me. I did add another moniter to my setup I now have three 144hz 1 ms response time moniters hooked up to it. Any ideas on why my FPS is now spiking? Also whenever I use obs to stream my frames drop to a consistent 40 fps. I have changed in game graphic settings and they don’t seem to change a thing. Any ideas on why my FPS is spiking and why when I stream it’s at 40 FPS thanks :)

130F and 90F, those temps seem strangely low for in-game. 32C for a CPU and 54C for an nVIDIA 970 under load is something one could only hope for with something like a custom water cooling loop or underclocking. Are these your actual temps in game? Try using furmark to stress the GPU and CPU to see if you can get different temps. While you are there, see if the GPU is going up to max power and max utilization to verify that it is clocking up correctly.
- Does the FPS improve when one of the displays is removed? Adding more displays or playing at higher resolutions does affect frame rates. If you upgrade from a 1080p display to a 1440p, you will experience a drop in frame rate.

- When you rebuilt, what parts changed? Did you only change the CPU cooler?

- How are your CPU and GPU temps in game?

- Did you do a fresh install if you changed any parts like your motherboard?
 

I only installed a cpu cooler and my gpu hits around 130 degrees F at max and cpu hits about 90 degrees F and I have two monitors plugged into dvi and one hdmi but I haven't seen a difference when unplugging one or two
