GPU issue?

I wouldn't necessarily count on the system temp being a false reading - I was able to get a motherboard up to 109 C on the northbridge/VRMs before it automatically shut down, and those were definitely genuine temps. The OP says his motherboard only has two slots for RAM, which tends to suggest it's an extreme budget model, possibly without a hard shutdown feature for sky high system temps.

If I were you then more screenshots of the Speedfan temps at idle could be useful. Also, opening the case and having a desktop fan blowing inside would probably enormously reduce the VRM/Northbridge system temp (if it is reading properly). It'd be interesting to see if it still stutters the same with that ruled out.

Yes it probably is a budget one as you say ive had it 5 years ish.

it's always 115 even when i turn my pc on, flicks to 116 occasionally. In both SpeedFan & CPUIDHWMonitor it says 115c majority of the time even when gaming.

If you have a desktop fan and are willing to open the case, I'd suggest you try that anyway. Going by your testimony, the probability lessens that it's a true northbridge/VRM temp reading, but even still... seems odd that a temperature sensor has registered temperatures in that range (just above where other motherboards shutdown automatically) if it was faulty. If it was saying 300C or -80C, then fine, no question, temp sensors are out of order.

Ill try a fan for the next few days and see how it goes, if worse comes to worst where would you suggest going next? just replacing parts? and if so which should i start with? Thanks

If it is a system temperature issue and isn't a falsely reported sensor reading, you should see a difference very quickly with a fan pointed appropriately at the motherboard.

If that isn't the issue, everyone else on this thread's guess is as good as mine. For some games 4 core / 4 thread Intel's are causing a bottleneck/stuttering problem, but as you seem to have the issue with CS, a notoriously Intel friendly/utilizing few threads game, that seems unlikely.

If the fan really doesn't help, I'd recommend running UserBenchmark: https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
(Will have to turn off MSI Afterburner for it to run fully).
That may show if a specific component is significantly underperforming.

All looks good. Did the fan blowing on the motherboard affect system temps / the stutter issues?

I thought it did, however stuttering still occurred, it's like im fine then all of a sudden itll just stutter for the remainder.
Would you reccommend just buying a new system i think im due an upgrade ive had this 4 yrs lol

NO i would never recommend just buying a new system to fix a problem, but that said new is never bad.

your system should play the games you do fine.
do you have a spear hard drive to try a fresh install of windows on?

when you run the GPU fans at full did it help with the strutting?
do you have any screen recording software installed? including the stock AMD crap from on there drivers.. the name i forget but i did get stutter in titan fall with it installed.
