i assumed it could be the temperature—easy enough—but checking your screenshots shows low temps, so it’s unlikely. i suggest resetting CMOS, applying default settings, and avoiding overclocking, especially XMP. if nothing works, a BIOS update might be the solution, given this relatively new CPU.
CMOS cleared successfully yet issues persist. Operating at 2666MHz; enabling XMP wouldn’t raise frequency to 3600MHz.

This outcome seems unusual given the screenshots you shared, but it clearly indicates your system is functioning properly. The last test showed normal performance, so I wouldn’t recommend pushing overclocking or using XMP unless necessary. Your results are above average, which means any stuttering might not be consistent—it could be occasional rather than constant. You might want to check if the afterburner and NVIDIA settings are set to defaults, as some frame limiters could be affecting performance. Resetting the afterburner might help too. If you’re unsure, a fresh reinstall could resolve any lingering issues. Overall, according to the 3DMark data, your games should run smoothly at around 60 FPS or higher. It’s strange, but Firestrike does require significant resources.

It’s strange, but Firestrike does demand more from hardware, so this result doesn’t seem like a typical problem.
occasionally happens, for example when playing Lost Ark for about ten minutes it runs smoothly but then frames appear and disappears, especially in Valorant or when FPS exceeds 144. After a short while it returns to normal. I suspect the issue might be related to low rank dimming on my 16GB (2x8) 3600 Mushkin Redline graphics card.
I understand. If that doesn’t help, you can try the link provided. Just keep the window open but not fully closed, and make sure it’s running. It should prevent the issues. Single rank isn’t the best setup, but it shouldn’t trigger these problems either. The standby cleaner handles RAM, which might explain why, though the exact cause remains unclear. The description in the link should clarify things, even if the real issue is still unknown.
