hi everyone, i'm having a strange problem with my CPU, during gaming and almost all programs im getting usage drops down to 0% every couple seconds for no apparent reasons, in gaming this results in 1-2 second freezes and framerate drops from 60 to 45 or lower.
my temperature never goes above 50c, so its not throttling, and ive disabled all power saving features in the bios. I've tried running at the default clock speed and voltage, tried auto settings and even underclocked, but the issue still persists. my power settings are set to high performance but i have tried balanced, neither changed anything. i am running my games off of a 2tb WD green harddrive but the same problem occurs when loaded off a ssd as well.
this link shows my cpu usage in a prime95 test, it behaves similarly in games,but hovers around 60-80%, then drops to 0% usage

all help is greatly appreciated

if you mean the cpu cooler, then its the corsair h100i, one of the better closed loops: http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-h100i-extreme-pe...
