As of yesterday I've been experience sluggish performance in general. Basically I was getting 350+ fps in CSGO, now i'm getting 90-150 and the game feels really choppy. My CPU usage will shoot up to 50% usage while just browsing and off and on while gaming, I hear the CPU fan start working hard. I'm currently assuming that it might have to do with my CPU, but i'm not 100% and would love some feedback or suggestions. I do notice that my GPU never exceeds 59°C so the fans never kick on (not sure if it ever did after i received my mobo replacement, but I do know it did before when I had the H90 installed and would be gaming). The only things that have changed since I noticed the poor performance was the mobo replacement, and the change from the usb sound card to on-board attachement. I've uninstalled the onboard sound drivers and disabled it via bios but that didn't make a difference & windows is a fresh install so I wouldn't think it's malware related.
I was having issues with my build that appears to have come down to my USB sound card, but I ended up RMAing my motherboard trying to zero in on the issue. While removing my H90 I somehow managed to break the bottom bracket forcing me to use the stock CPU cooler until corsair sends me my replacement, but I honestly don't know if my temps would have any effect. If anything I would've thought the extra generated heat would've had my gpu exceed 60°C but not even after an hour of gaming.
Here is the build:
Intel Core i7-4790K @ stock
Stock cpu cooler (was using Corsair H90)
Asus MAXIMUS VII GENE Micro ATX w/ SupremeFX Impact II onboard soundcard attachment
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB 2x8
Crucial M4 128GB SSD
Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD
Western Digital 1TB HDD
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0
Aerocool DS Cube
Corsair 760W PSU
Windows 8.1 x64
Thanks in advance!
