Here's a photo of my gpu stuff while playing csgo. As you can see it has consisten gpu usage drops and It's most likely not cooling because when I turned my fans to max the same thing kept happening.

If you rule out cooling, and you are up to date on drivers and Windows updates, double check the Task Manager to see if you have any programmes that are utilising the CPU and causing high CPU usage as that can cause lags and spikes. I would also just check Start Up as well and disable any start up applications that are not required.

Some games which load data at various points may have a lag spike due to disk read. Having an SSD instead of an old style hard drive can dramatically improve things if this is the case.

Ok my cpu usage was at 100% when playing rainbow six siege but siege was taking up most of the cpu so is there anything i can do about that?

I have a HDD so that may be the problem
