Quick update: I took everything out and set it up Test-Bench style, thinking it might be a riser cable issue... It's not that either. Could this just be an unfortunate motherboard issue? Do I try to RMA it to test another one? Would they even accept an RMA after a little over a year of use?
Also here's everything from latencymon. I disabled CPU throttling through windows but that didn't help with a second test.
This test is simply from ~2 minutes inside the VALORANT range, and holding M1.

CONCLUSION
_
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:02:41 (h🇲🇲ss) on all processors.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.
Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 27597.90
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 6.412028
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 27595.0
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 4.007826

REPORTED DPCs
_
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.
Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 27610.930
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation
Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0.096751

DPC count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 6
_
REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.
NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.
Process with highest pagefault count: runtimebroker.exe
Total number of hard pagefaults 1918
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 1625
Number of processes hit: 19
