Hard drive speed issues on new PC

I installed all of the latest drivers and everything.. Rig is in my sig.

The symptom basically is this-- when I test drive speeds on all my drives, even the SSD, it reads full speed (over 400MB/s on the SSD and almost 200MB/s on the HDDs).

Yet every 4 seconds it suddenly dips to HALF the speed, (around 200MB/s on the SSD and around 90MB/s on the HDDs) then resumes at normal speed.

What could be causing this? When I tested all of these drives using a eSATA drive enclosure on my laptop, they DO NOT do this.:confused::confused::confused::confused:
 
Ok apparently the issue was CPUID HWMonitor... never had that issue on my laptop! Ugh!

Have you tried disabling your AV?

I ran the drive speed test and loaded CPUID HWmonitor during it, and it starts doing that.. I'm running the same AV that I run on my laptop, Malwarebytes Anti-malware, and MSE.

Pretty much replicating everything on the gaming laptop.

I'm just not sure what causes HWMonitor to do that, but I guess I just can't have it running if I want to do Frapsing.
