Question Studdering in every game

For the past few months I have been getting studders in every game I play and I can't seem to find a fix. After a few days of trial and error, I assume that my ram is the problem but I am not entirely sure. I have also just before the studders occurred did a bio update which I don't know if that could be the problem. So my question is if it is bios causing the problems what should I do, and if it turns out to be my ram instead what should I do then? (Note Nvidia drivers are not fully up to date because of MWII's flashing bug, however in earlier patches it was still studdering so it wasnt a recent issue)

Specs:
ASUS B550-A
RYZEN 7 5700X
TUF GAMING RTX 3070
NZXT 53 AIO
DUEL CHANNEL 2X8 3600MHZ TRIDENT Z NEO
CORSAIR 1000W PSU
SAMSUNG 860 SATA SSD 1TB
WD NVME SSD 500GB (can't remember model)

Bios settings that are ON
CSM : Enabled (PC won't boot into OS if not turned on)
DOCP : 3600mhz
Everything else is default and or auto

Things I have tried:
  • Game Mode and Game bar disabled
  • Turning off overlays
  • Turning up voltage of ram (stopped my pc from booting into bios which I had to clr cmos)
  • Turning off vsync and capping fps instead
  • Settings ram to default speed of 2666mhz
  • Malware and Virus scans (found nothing since I don't download sketchy <Mod Edit>)
  • Changed CPUs
  • Change graphics settings of games (no difference)
  • Temps are all below or slightly above 55°C (Cpu,Gpu,Ram)
  • Summary any YouTube video with the title shuddering fix win10
  • Rolled back drivers and updated them (had to roll back for mwII however the newer driver made no difference to other games anyway.
If anyone could that be much appreciated :)

Do you know what timings your ram has at 3600mhz?
I would check there is nothing running in task manager at start up that shouldnt be.
Then I would unplug all peripherals and start adding them one by one (restart on each time). I think I read a thread recently which had logitech software being a cause of issues - so check for something like that being swtiched on too.

If I'm understanding correctly my timings on my ram from what I remember is 16/16/16/16/36 however I could be thinking that this is voltage not timings (havent really got into overclocking so its my second time hearing about ram timings). Over the past few days I haven't see anything abnormal in task manager. I do use Logitech software but I never had an issue before, I'll make sure to try you suggestion tomorrow.
 
no worries - the ram is probably fine if it is running at full speed, unless it has some very very slow timings (unlikely).
I mean if it's not the ram, I'll just end up troubleshooting Logitech GHUB tomorrow, and if it isn't the issue I'll update my bios and tell you if the issue persists.

I just did a biosupdate and uninstalled logi GHub and the studders still occur. In Siege they are minor but still annoying but in apex and fornite both have really bad studders and happen more frequently
