Frame Drops and Stuttering in games
So I have been getting crazy frame drops on my pc. Some games work fine but a lot stutter and will drop from like 160+ frames all the way down to around 30fps. I have updated my bios, turned on high performance in power management, turned on xmp in bios, my cpu averages around 60 - 70 degrees celcius, my gpu sits at around the same kind of temperature, I have disabled overlays like nvidia and steam and discord, turned off/on hardware accelerated gpu scheduling, used rtss to limit fps and also tried doing it in nvidia control panel, turned adaptive sync on my monitor off/on and the result is the same. My drivers and chipsets are all up to date, no OC has been done to either my gpu or cpu. I play on an HP Omen 27inch 1080p 165hz display and also a HP 27 inch 1440p X27qc.

My build is as follows:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB 360 77 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

Storage: Kingston NV3 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

GPU: Gainward Phoenix-S GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB Video Card

Case: Corsair 3500X ARGB ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2025) 750 W Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

PLEASE HELP!

If it was UE5, it,s perfectly normal phenomenon

When it happens leave the game and look in event viewer to see if there are any reports of the GPU driver crashing and recovering.
Does it just stay at 30 FPS, it usually goes back up if it's the driver crapping out and recovering, it usually drops to 0 FPS too but still worth checking out.

im willing to bet its the board throttling the cpu
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B550M-PRO-VDH/Gallery#lg=1&slide=2

im only seeing 4 chokes near the heatsink behind the bank of caps to power cpu cores
and 2 above for the igpu and imc
the board can only give the cores around 100w max

amd says its a 105w cpu, but it can really draw closer to 150w
https://www.techreviewer.com/tech-specs/amd-5900x-tdp/

the board lists compatability with 100+w cpus because it will throttle them to protect itself


give it a cpu load and see if the core clocks drop while the core temps are still low (<90c)

you have a clc on it, which kinda makes things worse for it
they remove airflow from the vrm area around the cpu socket
stock style fans blow air over the heatsinks and the mosfets without heatsinks

there is really nothing you can do other than get a better board
or maybe underclock so it doesnt draw more power than the board can give it
