Hello all,
For starters this is my first Build and i am rather new to PC Building/tweaking so please excuse my lack of knowledge but ill try to lay out everything currently going on.
So the base of the issue (from what I can tell) is Core Clock drops leading to Frame Drops while playing which can range from minor screen glitching to complete freezes for up to 45 seconds.
This issue is mainly occurring while using a program called SoftXpand
to get dual PC's running for my Girlfriend and I to play. i know this is clearly more taxing on my system but still should be well with in my capabilities especially for simple MMO's.
The issue occurs almost in a pattern when both systems are running and usually results in one or both of us lagging.
Here are my Build Specs:
CPU: AMD-FX 8350 Running at 4.0 W/ CoolerMaster Liquid Cooler
GPU: XFX R9 200 Running at 933/1250 (Stock) but i have seen the same issue overclocked up to and every where between Max settings.
MOBO: ASRock 970 Extreme4
RAM: 3x 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600
Storage: 120GB SSD Internal
PSU: Rosewill 1000W Bronze Edition
Case is a RaidMax with pretty solid flow from what i can see and ive had most of these issue with case open as well
Pic shows something I have recently noticed which is a correspondence between some CPU cores being at 0% Usage while the clock is dropped, could that relate ?

So given all this my basic questions are:
1) is there a bottleneck or other apparent issue here that i am just to inexperinced to see.
2) is the CPU usage normal ? This picture was with a window open playing an MMO but simply sitting in one spot for 15 mins while i was walking my dog.
3) is there a way to force constant clock on my GPU ?
4) is something malfunctioning that needs to be replaced ? its all about 25-30 days old
Thank you for reading through and i would like to thank any one in advance for your help.
