High end build, stuttering in every game

I just stumbled on this post and since activity was so recent I thought I'd share my 2c. Apologies if this has already been brought up, but I was dealing with a new install of 10 doing this in GTA V and then even in Valley benchmark while I was setting overclocks on my GTX 1070 and found a comment on a YouTube vid that recommended going into advanced power management settings and editing my current plan, under the PCI Express section, setting Link State something-or-other to off. I can't be too specific as I'm on my phone and recalling from the top of my head but good luck, and again apologies if this isn't helpful, but it had a big impact for me.

there's nothing called link state in my BIOS, I see only PCI express link power management and another thing but they are already disabled
Could my freezing issues be related to RAM voltages?

The setting he talked about is in power plan settings in windows.

already disabled

The first thing I tried that got me out of the stuttering was running in DX10. Although I didn't consider it an acceptable fix. I lost my MSAA and had problems at high speeds with objects failing to load until I was practically on top of them. But I'm wondering if Windows 10 has DX11 issues. I'm going to install a dual boot of 7 and see how it plays. Only problem there is that 7 lacks DX12. You might consider the same, to rule out the OS altogether.

Anyway just to be clear I don't have stuttering issues but freezing issues as you can see from the two video I posted previously.
Switching to DX10 isn't a fix for me, it will freeze anyway, one guy from the Nvidia forum told that this is a GTA issue but why am I the only one?

Oh, weird. Looking back over the previous posts I kept seeing you stay stuttering. Unfortunately, YouTube won't let me watch your videos, because I am not in your country. I will try with my VPN when I get back to my desk.

Can I ask, is your RAM overclocked?

I had this problem some time ago and tested everything. Tested my RAM and always passed. was clocked @ 3200 with tight timings and 1.35 volts. Set it back to its XMP settings of 2400 and 1.2volts and all was sorted.

Just a thought

I have only one XMP profile set to 3200.
Guys I'm out of ideas, this is very frustrating
