Just upgraded my CPU from a Phenom X4 955 to an FX-8150, now suffering massive framerate drops seemingly randomly.
Whenever it's running as should, my frames are at about 85-120, but about 2-3 times a minute for about 5 seconds, my framerate will plummet to 15-25 FPS tops then jump back too 85+. Also introduced with this CPU uprgrade, my sound will cut out/be garbled for a couple seconds at a time, sometimes corresponding with the framerate drop.
This is happening, most notably, in Battlefield 4. Though, I've seen framerate drops in Civilization 5 and Diablo 3, no sound cutting out though.
CPU: AMD FX-8150
Mobo: ASRock 990FX Extreme3
RAM: 8 gig Corsair Vengeance (1600MHz)
Video Card: MSI GTX 760 8gig
HD: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black
SSD: OCZ Agility3
Disabling the Spread Spectrum in the bios lessened the frequency of the issue, still there though. I have been running the AMD Overdrive stability test for a while, no issues so far, though I did notice that sometimes the cpu multiplier will drop down to 7x, from 19.5x.
CPU temp hasn't gotten above 53 degress celsius.
EDIT: I don't suffer any framerate loss or sound distortion on empty BF4 servers.
EDIT 2: I use a USB-wired Plantronics GameCom 780.
