Here’s a revised version of your text with the same length and structure:

I wanted to share a reference I found—I upgraded to a 32GB RAM dual-channel C16.
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/45069515
Recently, I’ve struggled to get the best performance from these specifications. I often play long sessions and sometimes experience screen tearing on my monitor (TV). There are occasional drops to 30 frames per second for a few seconds in both games, though it seems to happen more frequently every 10 minutes or so. It’s not a major issue, but it bothers me.

I plan to test these at higher resolutions like 4K or 1440p, since I’ve played those in 1080p before.

In two games, I’m consistently unable to maintain a stable 60fps. The worst is with Aoe2 Def Edition. Before, I played on a 1080p monitor at 55Hz and still faced steady frame drops. Even after uninstalling the UHD pack, the issue persists. On a 60Hz 4K TV, the drops become even more noticeable—consistent between 18 and 30 fps, regardless of resolution settings. The problem is clear: nothing much changes, but the performance is poor.

As for the other game, I suspect it’s related to age, and I keep seeing frame drops in Warcraft 2.

No matter what I do or buy, I’m consistently unable to run everything smoothly. I’ve looked online at similar systems and found they often achieve much higher FPS than mine. I’ll share more details tomorrow if needed.

You're talking about the part that isn't performing up to expectations? Everything is in its place, even better than usual. If the RAM isn't acting up, it's probably just a normal issue with Windows. It can be busy even when idle, doing calculations.

Sorry, it seems your mind paused halfway through the first part.

Download and set up this file. If prompted, skip the request since you already have it. You may want to reinstall if you have a newer version. This is for Windows, intended for the board it runs on; I had to turn off driver updates. It affects the B450-f gaming.

I’ll give it a looky! Don’t think you’ll tell me what it is before I click the link?

To ensure optimal performance, SSDs should not exceed 85% capacity. Clear out your SSD, run a TRIM operation, and use the SSD drive tools to assess its condition.

Despite some inaccuracies, the main concerns are still absent or incorrect drivers. I consistently encounter this problem on ASUS boards.

My SSD isn’t consistently full, and most of my files remain on the HDD.
A friend suggested I should install the drivers from AMD.con.

Well if you don't have your graphics drivers that would make sense according to userbenchmark, you might already have some installed. Just update them possibly, but that shouldn't cause this problem—it seems more like a lag between the CPU, GPU, and RAM, which usually points to chipset or driver issues, including CPU problems, socket issues, PCIE dimming, or sockets.
