Insane FPS drops on some games

[SparKi]

Hello
First of all note that my main language isn't English, so I hope I don't injure your eyes with my ortography.
So my problem is, that when I'm playing a game, let's say Dying Light, I get 100-120 fps in Ultra settings, but playing it every 5 minutes I get an insane fps drop, and goes straight to 1-2 fps for 10-15 seconds.
That fps drop I'm getting it with Dying Light, Rainbow Six Siege and Shadow Warrior. But not with CSGO ( I don't have it at ultra but I get 170 fps constantly), nor GTA V at ultra, etc..

I rode a lot of threads here saying it was the cpu heat ( so I bought a new heatsink ( I needed it anyways mine got broken ): Cooler Master Hyper 103 ),
another one saying it was a virus ( so I installed an anti virus and it found some ), another one saying that it might be the drivers of the GPU ( so I upgraded them ).

Before the build; the CPU, Heatsink, GPU and PSU were recently bought to the ones listed below ( I had an AMD Phenom x4 and was running well without FPS drops but less FPS at all )

My build:
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.1 GHz BE
Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 103
Motherboard: ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 R2.0
RAM: 2 x 4GB Kingston HyperX Blu 800 MHz
GPU: GTX 1060 Gigabyte 6 GB OC edition Windforce
HDD: 1 TB WD Green 7200 RPM
PSU: Seasonic S12II 620W 80 plus Bronze

I don't know what I should do wether what my problem is, so I hope you guys can help me 😀
Thanks in advance

can u monitor you ingame cpu/gpu usage during the games that causes fps drop?sounds like your cpu is not able to coup with the gtx 1060(bottleneck).

as I said ( I had an Athlon Phenom x4 and was running well without FPS drops but less FPS at all )
But anyways my cpu is at 60-70% playing those games..

how about your gpu?cpu hovering around 70% usually show thats your cpu is bottlenecking.your gpu needs to be at 80-99% during gpu intensive games.what resolution are u playing the game on?

So I was playing Shadow Warrior with MSI afterburner on, when I got that FPS drop (my system was laggy too, so I'm suspecting of the CPU) I got this on afterburner when the FPS drop

Hows ur ram usage btw?any background process running?

RAM usage is 60-70%, sometimes 100% if there is a process of windows or smth.
Anyways RAM shouldn't be a problem with 8 GB 😀
Thanks for the fasts replies btw

I see a couple of issues. First, you are using a tower fan. If you look at your CPU support page it says to use a top down blower if you use a 125W CPU with that board to help cool the VRMs.

Basically the parts that supply voltage to the CPU are getting too hot, and the CPU has to drop it's frequency as a result. Getting better cooling on the VRMs should help this. On that board they don't even have heatsinks! Another possible issue is did you reinstall windows, or at least load new CPU drivers? When I went from my 3570 to my 3770 I had an odd CPU issue. Removing my CPU drivers and letting windows install new ones fixed my issue. Try that, and getting better cooling on the board.

Okay, it worked, I just put a fan on top of these things, and now I'm not having those insane FPS drops.

Anyways I think that the best option is to buy a better mobo with better refrigeration on those VRMS.

That's a great way to trouble shoot the problem. Now you know what the issue is, fix it however you see fit. Keep the fan there, add some heatsinks, buy a better board, etc. Welcome to tinkering. 😉
