Random FPS drops!

[bradatje]

Every few minutes I get a sudden FPS drop/spike that makes almost every game unplayable.
Running h1z1 on mixed High-Ultra settings with an average of 60-80 fps suddenly drops to 10-20 every now and then, making the game unplayable for 5-10 seconds. I understand alot of people have this but I think its different for me.

Things I tried already:
Check for malware and viruses - none found
Unpark cores - nope
Disabled all Nvidia Audio Devices - still spiking
Disabled Cool and quiet in the bios - 0 changed

Note:

When im playing the game and get the fps drop my cpu changes from using 70% or so to like 30% and when its gon it goes back to 70%

I just got a new pc and really want to fix this, all help is appreciated.

Have youupdated your GPU drivers? H1Z1 is still an alpha right? If your drivers are up to date try lowering the graphics settings. Keep in mind that when a game s still in alpha it hasnt ben optimized yet. Games like dayZ and Ark still make the high end systems struggle simply because of the lack of optimization. If your PC can run other games that are complete games at good settings without FPS drops then nothing is wrong with your system.

Good luck!!

which power supply?

which cpu cooler?

run afterburner while gaming. Check the cpu clock if a fps drop happens. Might be the voltage regualator modules (VRM) running hot. if so, the clock would drop to 1600MHz or less

Did you update your motherboard BIOS to the latest version 1.60?
flash in BIOS not in windows!

8pin ATX12V connector is plugged into the motherboard and not just a 4pin?

the 970 is connected to power correctly?

yes

ok, I did the stresstesting and checke with hardware monitor because the other program didnt work for my cpu and now the clocks are doing weird sometimes they go to like 1397 and then they jump back to 3991, the temps didnt really go higher as 45 tho

ok so the cpu usage dropped to 1397 during the stress test?

that´s typical for overheating VRMs.

Two options:
Get another Motherboard or try cooling the VRMs with a Top Blower cooler.
This ASRock board doesn´t work well with the FX8350
