So recently I made a post about my games stuttering because of how the GPU voltage will drop, core clock will drop, and usage will drop to 0 for 5 - 25 secs only when playing only in certain games like WoW, or GTA 5, rarely happens in any other games for a couple of months now. Before I got my 1070 I had 970 which I thought was causing the problems so I got a 1070 and still occurred, thought it was my PSU and got the HX750i and is still happening.

SPECS:
i7 3770k OC to 4.4 Liquid Cooled
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe MB
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 8gb
GTX 1070
HX750i power supply (NEW)
7200RPM Western Digital 1tb


Now in my previous post thread I was told to reinstall windows, uncheck services, run stress test for gpu (msi kombuster) and intel burn test for CPU to see if my overclock was causing any problems, and which saw no problems. So I then try with no overclock still occurs, using 1 monitor, still occurs. I'm stumped and just beyond frustrated. So the guy that helped me out told me this:

"i've been reading around.
from what i read, your problem more likely related to mobo and/or OC.
your mobo have feature to drop voltage and clock when it "feel" that theres overheating."

Which leads me to here. Any help?


 
Solution
The only other way is to disable the LLC, aka the load line calibration. However this will force the CPU to constantly pull the same voltage for its current P-state. AKA under load it will retain the same voltage. The drawback is increase power usage. The only other method would be dropping back the OC about 50Mhz at a time until your completely stable.

Remember, stress tests and synthetic benchmarks only go as far as to test the temps and general instruction run stability. But complex calculations such as running CPU intensive games may expose instability.

1.4 seems extremely high to me just for 4.4ghz. Even with no overclock problem occurs, but I'll give it a shot.

Update: Temps are way to high, any way to stop this vdroop other than increasing vcore?
