ASUS Z-170K Motherboard

Since maybe 2 months ago I have been seeing a visible drop in frames. I averaged maybe 200-300fps on League of legends and now I sit maybe 90-130 with drops to 50-70 in more intense situations. The same is happening with overwatch, where i run the game at a render scale of 75% so not even full 1080p gaming and i still drop to low 40fps and average maybe 90fps. I normally only have Spotify and Discord open whilst gaming. All my parts are fairly new and are clean and in good shape with me cleaning the case and the parts. Anyone else having problems or maybe could help me find a solution? Would really appreciate it!

Alright then, get the drivers and check temps for now, and report the temps. Oh and also check CPU and GPU usage while playing games, and report those as well.

Also, Antec PSU's can skimp out on you, so be prepared for returning it, just in case.

Try re-installing drivers, also check temps and usages with MSI Afterburner. Did you overclock the GPU recently? Also monitor everything with HWMonitor, voltages and such. Also, please list the full system specs, including CPU, CPU cooler, memory, motherboard, storage, video card, case and power supply.

Never overclocked my GPU before and don't plan on it. I will check my temps from now on, and in fact I re-installed and updated my drivers just before writing this as I have done in the past.

I didn't mean these specs - we want the hardware used in the system - this only gives me the CPU and video card. Run CPU-Z and you'll get more info. For PSU you'll have to check the label on the PSU itself, I don't think any software detects it. Do one thing, go to pcpartpicker.com and go to 'start a new build'. There, select all the components you have(all that apply), and then share the permalink here. It'll help you list your components easily.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/G8tvxY This a perm link to my PC (My PSU isn't listed but this is the closest one to it)
Not sure how to use either HWMonitor or CPU-Z

Click on Setup+English here, and then install the program. Once it's installed, it will show you lots of temperatures and voltages - you need to focus mostly on CPU's package temperature and GPU's temperature, and their voltages.

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

Same with CPU-Z. But now that you've listed the hardware, you wouldn't need CPU-Z.

Also, please list the PSU's specific model, or just provide some link to your specific PSU, preferable the manufacturer's website.

The system looks okay, though why you have a Z170 with a non-overclocking chip confuses me. Anyways, start with the re-installing drivers to your GPU.

In fact that is the correct PSU listed on the website, my bad.
