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.

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

but man, the temps are good?

edit:

the temps of the cores of the CPU are not the problem. The problem is that the CPU overloads the motherboard and therefore the clock speed drops.

Read on the ASRock webpage by yourself, that if a CPU more than 95W is installed (FX8350 >125W) it´s recommended that a TOP down Blower cooler should be installed. Because the components (VRMs) need to be cooled too.

if it´s a new PC, I suggest that you replace the motherboard with something like this:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990fxaud3
or
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990xaud3

Both of these are equipped with 8+2 phase CPU VRM power design for AMD high-TDP CPU support

hey man, so I searched some stuff on google and some people do even overclock with the asrock 970 on the fx-8350 how can they not have the problems I have?

did you have a look at their cooling solution?
which graphics card did they use?

how old is your motherboard?
