Threadripper 1950x stuttering.

[matt.t.var]

I just completed a personal workstation build but its got a really bad stuttering problem that I can't seem to pin point. Upon boot there is often a 5-7 second long stutter that is the most noticeable. Most of the time I notice it while listening to audio, the audio will distort when the system slows down. When playing games such as Overwatch I noticed every now and again my FPS will drop before returning to normal. More recently my FPS tanked to like 60fps which in this rig shouldn't happen.

I've done the usual, reset the BIOS, updated all drivers and software, updated the firmware of any devices like my SSD. Nothing I seem to do solves this problem. The system isn't thermal throttling as far as I can tell, any time I run a stress test the highest the temperatures get is in the 50's. I'll admit its my first time doing a liquid cooled setup but nothing seems to indicate that cooling is a problem. Its basically a fresh copy of windows since I only finish the build a few days ago but this is driving me absolutely nuts trying to troubleshoot this.

troubleshooting 101.

check your temperatures and voltages.
a stress test and only hitting 50c is not good! should be around the 70-85s

1. Check your temps
2. Set your proc and gpu to performance mode and not to power saving (windows control panel and nvidia control panel)
3. Disable all unneeded/unwanted background apps and services, prevent them to autostart.
4. Check for viruses, malwares, etc.
5. For online games, how is your network latency doing?
