CPU is liquid cooled with a kraken x61 and never rises above ~50C under stress testing. Since my lst posting I have changed out my 980Ti for a 1080 FE which is cooled by reference cooler and air flow. GPU never exceeds 72C during testing and gameplay and the case temp sits between 68-70C during heavy use. (I have an in-room AC unit and have some of the cool air from it channeled to my intake fans. PSU is EVGA 750W Gold+. I have my GPU clocked up to 120% power limit, and my CPU is OC'd to 4.2 Ghz with 1.285v (Before anybody asks, I have run everything at base clock with the same issues, so it is not an OC conflict.

Doesn't appear to change anything in this instance

My SSD is set to 1000-2000 MB and the HDD the game is on is set to 4000-6144 MB

So I built a new system in December (Specs attached). It works well on so many things but I have been having an issue when I play skyrim and fallout4 where after playing perfectly for 1-2 hours it will stutter to the point of being unplayable. The only way to resolve the issue at that point is to restart the entire computer. I have completed removed the Nvidia drivers with the clean removal tool and reinstalled the latest drivers, I have adjusted Vsyncs to the best of my ability, I even updated my xbox one controller from tips from another post hoping for a resolution. I originally thought I might be having issues with the dx9 limitations, but fallout4 is having the same problems. I also have some of the same with The Division. I can play GTAV all day long with no issues. I am really at a loss here. PC Specs: Intel Core i5-6600K Maximus VIII Hero Nvidia 980 Ti Kraken x61 G.

So I have a new desktop that I built with the build listed below. The issue I'm having is that I can play for usually about an hour perfectly smooth with any display setting, then I get smacked with a stutter that makes the game basically unplayable and will remain even if I quit and reload, and only corrects with a restart. At first I thought it was connected to an issue I was reading about Dx9 games and Windows 10 limiting vram, but when I ran Skyrim system monitor I noticed I never went over 2Gb VRAM and had no obvious spikes in system resources when the stutter would hit. I have tried taking the CPU back to stock with no effect.
