regular intermitten frame rate drops during gaming.

[fierybiscuits]

Hey guys, very new here so stick with me.

Since recieving the replacement cpu (in leui of a deffective cpu i had to send back) i have had performance issues during light gaming.

-fx 9370

The issues i have been recieving are, during gameplay i recieve regular frame rate drops. Around every 30 seconds or so, consistantly throughout. Going from around 150 down to 15-20 for 3 seconds then back up to 150. (overwatch medium settings/ counterstrike:global offensive medium settings)

I have recently changed my gfx card to no change. i have also changed my cooler to a high end cooler to see if thermal throttling was the issue but again no change. everything is updated. numerous virus checks.

Is it possible i have another deffective cpu? or any other additional problem?

pc specs:
cpu - fx 9370
heatsinc - corsair h110i gtx
gpu - radeon r9 390
case well ventilated/ cooled aerocool ds 200
RAM - corsair vengance 16gb 2400mhz
psu - corsair cx750
mobo - ASRock 970 performance series 3.1
windows 10 (had also been windows 8 with same results)

i checked the task manager as and when the drops were happening to find regular dips in performance.

Again, sorry if im missing something painfully simple here.

Thanks for any help.

Try turning off APM mode in the BIOS to stop the throttling

I noticed you made the change to liquid cooling and wanted to remind you when you do that you remove all airflow from the VRMs and CPU socket area. Now heat is building up and up around this area and potentially causing throttle issues.

I would recommend mounting a small CPU fan over the top of the VRM heat sink (area to the left of your CPU). This will help keep them cool.
