High end build, stuttering in every game

Hello, this is my build:

• i5-6600k
• ASUS MAXIMUS RANGER VIII
• MSI GTX 1060 6G
• Samsung SSD 850 evo 250gb
• WD Caviar Blue 1TB
• G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200 DDR4 (XMP profile)
• Dual monitor: Zowie XL2411 144hz + BenQ GW2260 60Hz

I get stuttering in the following titles:

• Rocket League: every time a new player join a match the game freeze, also when V-Sync is on I get random lag from 144 to 130 and then the game continue to run smoothly.
• GTA V: random stuttering Online and fps drops, V-Sync on.
• PUBG: random stuttering, V-Sync off.
• Rust: stuttering when loading chunks with fps drops.
• Ark: as Rust.
• Total War Warhammer: random stuttering in the strategic map, V-Sync on.

What I've done till now:

• Tried every graphic settings.
• All kind of Windows 10 optimizations like Performance mode, Xbox game mode off, disabled unnecessary services and tasks, no antivirus (Windows Defender on only).
• Hard drive defragmentation.
• Nvidia control panel optimizations for every game like Thread optimization, tried several v-sync modes, etc.
• All drivers are updated.
• No pending Windows updates.
• Temps are fine, GPU and CPU never go above 65C.
• Shadowplay overlay off.
• Playing with one monitor at once.
• Moved games from HDD to SSD.
• Tried different version of GPU drivers.
• Disabled the page on the HDD and fixed its size on the SSD with the reccommended value.
• Memtest for both RAM stick at once (8 pass each no errors).

What I've not tried yet is to reinstall the OS... benchmarks and performance in game are ok and in line with every other user... do you have any suggestions? Could it be network related? How can I analyze the stuttering?

PS: I'm testing with Latencymon and doing some screenshot of gpu and cpu usage

- PUBG GPU USAGE:



Voltage limit:



During those down spikes I get in game stuttering with no fps drops, the cpu never hit 100% usage.


- When a player joins a match in Rocket League the game freeze but there's not down spikes for GPU usage and I get fps drops. The CPU never hits 100% usage.

- This is a video showing how GTA V stuttering looks like, this is from an offline session with V-Sync On, when it occurs the fps drop:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________ _____CONCLUSION_____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________Your system seems to be having difficulty handling real-time audio and other tasks. You may experience drop outs, clicks or pops due to buffer underruns. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates. LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 1:01:33 (h:mm:ss) on all processors._________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________SYSTEM INFORMATION_________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________Computer name: ANTONIO-PCOS version: Windows 10 , 10.0, build: 15063 (x64)Hardware: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC., MAXIMUS VIII RANGERCPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHzLogical processors: 4Processor groups: 1RAM: 16322 MB total_______________________________________________________________________________________________ __________CPU SPEED_______________________________________________________________________________________________ __________Reported CPU speed: 3504 MHzMeasured CPU speed: 1 MHz (approx.)Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed.

To be perfectly honest the games you listen aren't exactly the best optimised games out there tbh, Think its more down to poor game optimisation more than anything

None of my friends are experiencing any stuttering with the game, even on low end builds

And then what's wrong with my build? How can I analyze which cause the stuttering in game?

I've got stuttering online on Rocket League, V-Sync off, when the fps drops the GPU usage spikes to ~0, CPU never hits 100% during a match and Latencymon reported the CPU throttling problem, before I updated Intel lan drivers
