A 2400MHz memory kit is below par for an unlocked CPU. What is the latency? If it’s above 15, it's poor. Easy to get 3000MHz kits with a latency of 15, and 3200 is usually 16. Some Kingston kits at 2400MHz have a latency of 12 or 13; if they’re in Userbenchmark’s database, that's the comparison.
Remember, most people running this benchmark with K CPUs are overclocking. That probably explains why your CPU and GPU aren’t getting top marks, just near the top.
You don't have any power sag, which is uncommon to see exactly 12.00 and 5.00 volts. It must be a well-regulated power supply.
The only thing I can think of is the fully populated memory. Try taking out two sticks and see if it does any better.
Latency 65.5
61% 65.5 ns
The AVANT 8GB DDR4-2400 AVW641GU48J7240ND-SPXA6 RAM is performing above expectations (73rd percentile). I tested removing individual sticks from slots 1 and 2, but the latency remained at 65.5 ns. I ruled out the GPU and confirmed CPU temperatures and speeds are normal. RAM clocks above expectations. Dropping to 140fps in CS:GO is unexpected.
1 and 3, 2 and 4, A1, B1, A2, B2. Slots should be separated for dual channel mode. Typical configuration is the furthest slot from the CPU, one empty slot, then the next filled. Unable to find a spec sheet; only available on eBay with no manufacturer listings. Possibly unbuffered ECC memory, unsupported. Check CPU-Z – 65.5ns is too slow (70ns EDO was typical in the mid-90s). Consider purchasing a 2x8GB kit from Best Buy for testing.
I meant I did 1/3 out, not 1/2, so that would have made it exactly as you described in terms of the slot furthest from CPU filled and the second closest filled. It COULD be that the latency shown on the userbenchmark is the clock speed (16.0 clocks in CPU-Z) x4 (4 sticks of RAM). 16 CL x 4 = 64. This is CPU-Z of SPD/Memory from a couple days ago: https://imgur.com/a/n5pMM9r View: https://imgur.com/a/n5pMM9r
17 or 18 for CAS latency is poor for 2400Mhz memory.
15-17-17-35 would be a good kit for 3000Mhz.
Yours is 17-17-17-39 or 18-17-17-39 at 2400Mhz.
You are running 16-18-18-35 at 2666Mhz possibly?
With CAS latency at 17, a true latency around 14ns is expected with 2400Mhz, but 65.5 ns indicates an issue.

Userbenchmark accuracy is uncertain; the BIOS or CPU memory controller may be causing slowness.
Upon returning a GPU for testing, I purchased Corsair Vengeance 2x8 DDR4-3200 and enabled XMP in the BIOS. While there were improvements to FPS, I continue to experience significant lows, such as large swings from 300-350fps to 150, accompanied by mouse drag/sluggishness, screen rippling/stuttering, and these issues are typically triggered by situations involving molotovs, smoke grenades, multiple players.
That seems reasonable. I've observed 400FPS footage while observing a floor, with rapid decreases as players and more of the map become visible. The sluggishness could simply be your perception of fluctuating frame rates. You might consider posting in CS:GO forums to seek advice regarding game settings.
