Yes.

I doubt it's an issue with the CPU and rather with the system and software. It's not that it's not fast enough, it's doing constant 144fps just fine.... until it doesn't.

Could be storage related.
At 144hz/fps you will be more sensitive to drops than me as my panel is only 60hz.

With Windows 10 I did notice on a test rig that with the creators update I would have massive unexplained performance drops during a gaming session.
Rolling back to Windows 7 fixed that completely.

I intend to do a little more experimenting to find out the root cause one day, just haven't gotten there yet.

Storage related issues could fit all of the symptoms. I do notice frequent activity on my HDD despite the fact that it's just passive storage. No program actually runs on it. So there might be some issue with Windows using it as swap or some bullshit.

Right now I'm planning on separating my system into a smaller browsing and video PC. That would kick all of my HDD storage out of my gaming rig. Maybe it's better then.
