Regular FPS drops/stutters on Zephyrus G14 (GA401QM) across almost every game — tried everything, still stuck
Specs:
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (GA401QM)
Ryzen 9 5900HS
RTX 3060 ti (6GB)
16 gb RAM
Using G-Helper instead of stock Armoury Crate, set to Turbo mode
This is my first reddit post so please forgive me if I make any mistakes, So I have been getting regular FPS drops/stutters in nearly every game I play. It's not tied to one title — happens in almost everything except Mortal Kombat 1, which runs perfectly fine for some reason. Currently testing mostly with Crimson Desert on Low settings, capped at 60 FPS, and still get periodic spikes: FPS craters for a few seconds every few minutes, recovers, then repeats.
What I've already tried:
-Clean GPU driver reinstall (DDU).
-Adjusted basically every in-game graphics setting
-Stopped/removed leftover ASUS services (Armoury Crate Service, ROG Live Service, etc.) that can conflict with G-Helper.
-Fully uninstalled Armoury Crate, running G-Helper only.
-Checked G-Helper's Advanced tab — no CPU/GPU undervolt applied.
-Running in Turbo mode (highest power/performance profile)
-Ran cinebench and the score for gpu was27303 with 70-75 degrees celcius and cpu(multiple thread) was 1950 and sits at 80 degrees celcius.
Note- I repasted with the honeywell ptm few weeks ago myself so can that be the issue?
Let me know if someone knows how to fix this.
