Hello guys.

I started having problems with my setup, huge fps drops in games and microstuttering occur all the time. Everytime it occurs, one of the fans in my desktop (i dont know which one though) start spinning faster, and when is stabilizes again the speed goes back to normal, and this process takes form again every 2-3 seconds.

Ive tried the following, without sucess:

  1. Checking for malware
  2. Reinstalling graphics card driver

Any of them worked. Im out of ideas as im not an expert when it comes to hardware and knowing your components.

Benchmark and setup:

UserBenchmarks: Game 57%, Desk 68%, Work 47%
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 - 80.3%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-3GB - 59.5%
SSD: Kingston A400 240GB - 33.8%
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 2TB - 98.9%
RAM: Unknown 9905678-023.A00G 1x8GB - 41.9%
MBD: Asrock H110M-HDV R3.0

Looking for advices and opinions.
