Microstuttering appears to occur in every game I play. I have very stable fps in every game, but it drops to 40 for a millisecond and it's pretty annoying, even though it doesn't happen often. I replaced my mobo, cpu, and ram, to no avail.
CPU: i7-6700K @4.5 Ghz
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: MSI Z170A SLI
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970
Case: NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Monitor: BenQ XL2411Z 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor
Things I have already done:
- I have upgraded my mobo, cpu, and ram as stated above
- I defragged my HDD a few weeks ago
- I reapply thermal paste to my cpu every once in awhile
- I have reinstalled my graphics drivers completely
Additional notes:
- Temps are fine. GPU doesn't exceed 78 degrees under heavy load. CPU doesn't exceed 65.
- No crashing, ever
- I have stable fps in pretty much all games that I play
- The only fans I have in my case are the rear and top as exhaust, and one front fan as intake
- Recently I encountered a complete freeze while in the middle of a game. The game froze for a full second, I'd say.
Any help is appreciated. This is pretty frustrating.
