Question How do I know if my SSD is faulty? (games stuttering)

[hiimjohnn]

My games are stuttering and i suspect its my SSD. I frequently get brownouts in my apartment and I suspect it damaged my SSD but im not sure. Is there a way to check with some kind of benchmark or something?

Samsung magician can test your samsung ssd.
Crucial should have a similar app.

That said, stuttering is most likely to come from a temporary lack of cpu power.

Look for higher priority interfering tasks.

Your CPU isn't boosting at all! What temps are you seeing? What cooler?

Is there a BIOS update available for your motherboard?

Be sure to update chipset drivers for motherboard aswell.

Install RAM in slots a2-b2. Enable XMP/D.O.C.P in BIOS.
