Freezes+frametime spikes in every game since 2 years, have tried every single common fix, lots of advanced fixes too

[Domme_Smd]

[COLOR=rgba(20, 20, 20, 1)]I am experiencing stuttering / frame time spikes in every game I play. I have spent way too long trying to diagnose what could be causing them but to no success. This same problem has been happening on my computer throughout the whole time that I upgraded hardware components and the issue is still occurring. PLEASE if you have any input/suggestions let me know because I am losing my mind over this issue.[/COLOR]


[COLOR=rgba(20, 20, 20, 1)]In every game I play there are frame time spikes which cause my fps to drop slightly. These spikes + small fps drops result in a very noticeable stutter. I have also tried pretty much everything, including but not limited to:[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(20, 20, 20, 1)]

• Upgrading important parts of my rig (CPU, Mobo, Drives, Monitor)
• Updated Bios on old mobo and on new mobo
• Disabled All In-Game Overlays
• XMP On/Off - No difference
• Turned on High Performance Power Plan in Windows
• Turned on Prefer max performance in NVCP
• Messed with every combination of Enabling/Disabling Gsync and Vsync - stutter still occurs in any configuration
• Tried capping fps at lower values (240, 144, 120, 60) - stutter still occurs
• Closed all unessessary background processes
• Turned game settings all low - no effect
• disconnecting the USB 3.0 front connector
• Ran Memtest86 - no errors found
• VSYNC and fps limiter posted in this thread
• Disabled Game DVR (with registry)
• Plugged PC into different wall outlet in case this is somehow a power issue. Had no effect.
• Multiple different Nvidia drivers over the years
• Countless BIOS settings but even this shouldn't change much because of the Mobo upgrade
• Set GPU to Message Signaled Interrupts
• Far too much other stuff I can't even recall

[COLOR=rgba(20, 20, 20, 1)]This one wasn't that bad but there were still some times where I could definitely feel it happening (Frametimes spiking from avg 3ms to 50ms).[/COLOR]
[COLOR=rgba(20, 20, 20, 1)]This is with the new rig. At first I thought the temps still seemed a bit high but according to AMD it's normal for the 5600X to go to 90°+ under load.[/COLOR]
