Hi,
After upgrading my MOBO to allow for more RAM I have started to encounter some stuttering during gaming.
My rig:
GIGABYTE B550M DS3H Motherboard,
AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
RTX 4070
32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200Mhz RAM
Corsair HX750 PSU
Windows 11
I updated everything after installing the new motherboard (AMD Chipset, GPU Driver & Windows updates) and set an XMP profile in the bios settings. I then loaded into Fortnite when I started to notice FPS drop and stuttering/hitching. I tried nearly everything to figure out what was happening like turning off windows game mode and disabling game bar presence writer.
I then decided to do a fresh install of windows 11 and try again, it was then I realised it's potentially the AMD Chipset (ver. 5.05.16.529) I updated, I have installed an older version (ver. 4.11.15.342) currently which has improved the fps drop and stuttering A LOT but it's still happening from time to time. I've tried older GPU drivers but the issue still persists across all the games I play, as you can imagine it's immensely frustrating.

TLDR steps I've taken;
Updated Bios
Tested different GPU drivers
Tested different Chipsets (Has made an improvement using an older version)
Disabled background apps
Disabled Xbox game bar, Game bar presence writer, disabled game mode and full screen optimisation
Clean windows install

If anyone has anymore suggestions they would be greatly appreciated as stuttering/hitching/fps drop in all the games I play is less than ideal and extremely frustrating.
Thanks,
