Computer high spec low performance

[grady.alley]

Specs:
-Ryzen 7 1700x
-EVGA GTX 980ti
-Asus Strix x370-F
-G.skill trident Z 8GB 3200Mhz
-Samsung 960 Evo 256gb M.2
-Some random 2tb HDD for bulk
-Corsair AX860
-GPU and CPU being cooled in a custom water cooling loop with a single 240mm rad (I know its small for a full system.)
-Windows 10 Home Edition

So This is a pretty high end rig and it runs great, for the first 30 minutes to an hour when playing. If I am playing solo with no other applications running itll run fine, but when I play a game with discord and chrome running in the background for comms and music, after about 30-60 mins my performance has an extreme drop. It goes from, for example, 250 frames solid in rocket league to around 20 or 30 max. I have no idea what the issue could be, ide temps are around 30C and under load neither the cpu or gpu are never above 60C. When I benchmark on Userbenchmark nearly all parts say they are performing "way below expectations" I've tried overclocking all components, but nothing seems to help and I still have issues at stock settings.

Update, the issue is not happening regardless of how long I play or what apps I run, with new RAM installed

[Mark.]

just to clarify, now you have replaced the RAM, it's all good?

No, I replaced the ram and had the same issues. I also was told that the issue was my sdd overheating, which I thought was rediculous but I went with it, and installed windows on a HDD and installed all of my drivers, and now I am getting BSoD when I try to do too many things at once, leads me to believe I have a faulty CPU, anyone confirm?

Is the RAM on the ASUS QVL list ? ?

It's especially important with DDR4 RAM...

Should be  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232476

You can find it at the ASUS site...

I guess not. But would that really cause issues as major as mine.?

[patio]

Yes...

[grady.alley]

Yes...

I did use some corsair dominator that was on the list and had same issues though.

You can't go by brand name...you need to cross-reference the Part #'s...

QVL means it's been lab tested by the Manuf. and approved.

Correct. the serial number on my dominator ram matched the serial number of one of the corresponding ram modules on the list.

Personally i do not trust UserBenchmark...

It ID'd my CPU as a single core...it's a quad core....didn't get the vid card correct either.

You should reset your pc. This might help you. Read this guide, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026528/windows-reset-or-reinstall-windows-10

Hope it works for you
