I have recently been stuttering occasionally in games I play (specs listed) I have a high end pc, but a shitty optical drive. From my understanding it seems my pc is using more pagefiles than my super fast RAM I installed.

I wanted to know if i should decrease my pagefiles useage, and use more of my RAM, and how i could do that? thanks for any help you could lend

also, i've been monitoring my temps for several months now, and I never spike above 75 degrees on my GPU, and never above 70 on my CPU all at max load.

specs :

GPU : GTX 980 ti sc
CPU : Intel i7 6700k (4.0 ghz)
RAM : 16 gigs of ddr4 (2666MHz)
OS : Win 7

Decreasing and increasing page file won't help. It's meant for file that will be created and deleted rapid and will often be within ram anyways. To change it? Control panel>>>All control panel items>>>system>>>System>>>Advanced system settings>>>advanced>>>Performance settings>>>Advanced>>>virtual memory>>>change.
