New Build - Super Slow, Lagging, 9900k

This is just a suggestion but grab a copy of a Linux Live flavor and boot into and see if the stuttering happens with in Linux. You don't need to install. I would grab Ubuntu. If it does not happen in Ubuntu or any other flavor of linux then I would say it is something driver related within Windows.
 
Ideally you shouldn't have anything over 100, a 1000 means you have an issue/conflict.

Now that you know, DL this https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon and it will tell you exact which process is causing all the hub-bub.
Thanks..



It does say right on their website with Windows 8.1 (I am guessing Windows 10 too) that there IS a latency error automatically.

Here is a quote from their website. I guess they haven't released an updated version yet.

"


Windows 8 Compatibility: The DPC latency utility runs on Windows 8 but does not show correct values. The output suggests that the Windows 8 kernel performs badly and introduces a constant latency of one millisecond, which is not the case in practice. DPCs in the Windows 8 kernel behave identical to Windows 7. The utility produces incorrect results because the implementation of kernel timers has changed in Windows 8, which causes a side effect with the measuring algorithm used by the utility. Thesycon is working on a new version of the DPC latency utility and will make it available on this site as soon as it is finished.

So This is the data from that Latency Mon.. I have the latest Graphics drivers installed. Should I reinstall them again?

I'd uninstall, run DDU in safe mode, and install the latest stable driver.

(certain Nvidia drivers have been having this DPC issue for the past year-ish)

Honestly, 300 latency isn't the worst in the world. But switching drivers is def worth a shot.

Ok when I uninstall the NVidia driver.. how do I know what driver to download and install then? If I let windows download and install it would that be good? I don't know much about drivers and the support of them. Especially Graphics drivers.
 
Have we already attempted removing the GPU and running on the iGPU? Followed by a safe-mode removal of the drivers.

www.nvidia.com for the drivers. You select your graphics card from a drop down box
 
I would strongly suggest loading optimized defaults in the BIOS and rebooting. Sounds like some sort of IO issue. Do you have a spare drive you can do another install of Windows on to A/B test?

I actually did that numerous times to try and run from the Optimized Defaults and that is when it was the MOST lagging. After tweaking a little, the lag is def NOT GONE, but it's way less than before. I still don't think it's running great and not optimized, but it's way better than the Optimized Defaults option I was running a week ago.
 
Try underclocking the CPU and see if the issue persists. You could also underclock the ram as well. I'd also make sure your only using one drive in the system at a time instead of reinstalling and then adding the other drive back.

Can you explain this please? What do you mean by underclock? Thanks
 
Anecdotal story that may prove helpful:

I was having a regular "pause" similar toy the way you describe yours on my Ryzen system. I was using a WD Black NVMe SSD as an OS drive (Windows 10 x64) and a Kingston 480G SATA SSD as a data drive. After a lot of tracking down (including swapping CPUs and motherboards), I noticed that when the lag happened, SATA SSD would sometimes inexplicably "hang" and cause the stutter, with the drive showing 100% I/O in Task Manager and the computer being effectively useless until it settled down. I removed the SATA SSD (leaving my NVMe SSD with the OS on it) and replaced it with a regular HDD - the problem went away. That SATA SSD works fine in another system.

Perhaps you could temp disconnect the SATA SSD's and HDD's SATA cable and perform a fresh install on the NVMe scratch drive and see if the problem goes away... (I'd try it at your stock clocks since that is where the problem was most noticeable for you). If the problem goes away, you've narrowed the issue. If it doesn't, you just reconnect the other drives and wipe the scratch drive. No harm, no foul :)

That's a good suggestion..Since my scratch disk doesn't have anything on it that matters anyway.

Thanks
 
The LAG IS BACK!!!! AHHHHHGGGGGG What in the hell. I overclocked it very mildly and I was good for about a week and now I am back to incredible lag again. I don't have the funds to just buy all new pieces to test what it could be. Any other thoughts?
 
I would focus on storage - try running a bootable linux distro in memory with all your HDDs disconnected. If you get no lag, you can rule out CPU/Mem/MB
 
Maybe I missed it, but someone suggested trying a wired keyboard and mouse. Have you done that yet? Bluetooth mouse and keyboards can cause issues just like this. I have a Lenovo laptop that did not like my Bluetooth mouse until I updated the Bluetooth. But we need to rule that out first and just go wired until you know it's not the computer.

What I would do if the wired keyboard and mouse doesn't fix it is to disconnect all of the extra drives go with just 2 DIMMS in the correct DC slots, reset the BIOS to optimized defaults, enable XMP and reinstall 10. Don't make any other bios changes and do not OC. Only update the GPU driver. Then test it before adding the other drives and Adobe back on. If there's a problem in this configuration then you likely have hardware issues.

This! If op really wants to find the issue;) SOMETIMES computers can be a pain in the ass to troubleshoot issues...but i think this suggestion is full proof
