I had messed up by taking out my capture card while the PC was on, and it fried my on board sound. I have since gotten a new sound card which remedied the issue, but my frames are hurt.

Monitoring temps, it doesn't look like my GPU or CPU are even close to capping in temp. About 45 on GPU and 39 on CPU.

My CPU usage while streaming is around 70%, but the frames drop super low. Could this be a motherboard issue?

Asus z87
Nvidia EVGA 780
i7 4770k

like i said test the components in another build. if you cant you will have to wait till you get another motherboard as that will likley be the root cause. the fact you killed the onboard sound means it is damaged and needs replacing. just putting in a sound card wont do that. its like putting a plaster on a cut. the cut is still there and still causing pain.

its likley the resulting voltage instability caused by the dead or dying components that are part of the onboard sound is making other hardware unstable...

defiantly. pulling out components like cards will cause a power spike around the board. im surprised you didnt completely kill your pc. you will want to test all the components in another build to make sure you havent damaged them aswell.

hotplugging is only allowed on the drives not anywhere else on the motherboard and only then if the motherboard supports it.

if you havent done it before and you dont have a motherboard manual i recommend you get a mate who is handy with pc's (i mean actually can build 1 from scratch not just say they can) or take it to a shop.
as you have already tried removing stuff and managed to damage em i wouldnt recommend you continue disassembly without supervision.
like i say ask a mate who builds his own pc to do it for you. he will likley do it for free as guys like me like doing this kind of stuff for fun.
