Hey, I see. Your I7-7700K is running at full capacity and causing performance problems in games—stuttering and lag are common. Have you checked your cooling system or GPU temperature? Also, consider updating drivers, checking for malware, or testing with a different game to isolate the issue.
We're curious about the game as well. Are you experiencing unusually high temperatures?
Here is the secret to a properly running computer. Many people have so much crap running in the background on their computer that it becomes useless for any task. When your computer is idle at the desktop, open the Task Manager, go to the Details tab, click on the CPU heading and organize the running tasks by CPU usage. A properly functioning computer running Windows 10 can have the CPU spending up to 99% of its time completely idle, not doing anything, just waiting to get to work on something important. If you are nowhere near that number, find out what is running on your computer. If you do not need it, get rid of it.
I don't believe cooling is a problem, I have plenty of airflow available.
You mentioned high temperatures and that your CPU nears 100 degrees. Airflow isn’t enough if there’s too much heat. Also, did you verify the CPU’s clock speed?
