Hey there! I just installed a new PC two days ago and things aren’t going as planned. My setup includes a 9800X3D CPU, an 9070 XT GPU, 6000 MT/s Corsair Vengeance CL-30 2x16GB RAM, an MSI MAG 850W power supply, an x870e Tomahawk Wi-Fi motherboard, and a 2TB M.2 SSD. I’m experiencing occasional stutters while playing games or browsing—usually every 10 to 20 seconds, which is subtle but noticeable.

In my main game, Rust is running at around 70 FPS, but I expect 200 FPS with this build. The stuttering is more pronounced when playing Rust compared to browsing. I’ve tried several settings: EXPO Mode on, SMT off, Ultimate Performance Power Mode, matching RAM speed with CPU specs, updating chipset, GPU, and BIOS drivers, and checking for the latest firmware.

I’m really unsure what’s causing this. My performance is dropping to just 1% and 0.1%, with frames that jump or drop by about 50%. Even games like Among Us 3D had occasional stutters but were stable otherwise. I see some text bleeding in my browser or when closing tabs, and audio has static I can’t pinpoint. It’s hard to spot the stuttering in this video, but it’s clear my FPS is inconsistent.

Any tips would be a huge help. Thanks!

I think this might have occurred with Defaults in BIOS too. Did you run the machine before adjusting any settings? Did you download all drivers from the manufacturer’s site or use GitHub? With 9800X3D you can physically detach the 9070XT to observe the process. Test one stick of RAM at a time. Double-check every power connection and cable. Restore everything to its base default configuration. You’ll need a baseline before making any changes.

I just switched back to the base BIOS an hour ago and it was still the same. I’ll test with one stick of RAM and verify all power connections. It might be related to my RAM or CPU, because I notice more stuttering when using Microsoft Edge with a game running.

Installed chipset drivers for the motherboard. Updated BIOS available at the provided link.

Latest BIOS updates released recently and the most recent chipset versions are available.

I don't understand the details of the 9070XT release drivers well. I could remove it and check the CPU/iGPU performance. That should help us focus.

You’d likely need to remove both the PCI-E cables and the device physically to ensure everything is disconnected properly.

Connect the cable straight to the motherboard initially. If that doesn't work, gently take it out.

Still experiencing those tiny glitches while surfing the web, especially without a GPU—both frustratingly and sadly.

I saved several stress testing tools but which one works best for a full hour check? Yes, some programs can help verify if your CPU is healthy by running specific tests.
