Stutter under load?

[unknownsock]

I've been using prime for the first time in a while last night and what i've noticed is my windows tend to stutter when moving them, you could say but its on full load, although it never did this before.

Plus i've had a lot of problems with stutter lately, it defintely cant be a heat issue(unless my sensors are broke) as it reaches 58-60 on my cores at full load..occasionally goes up to 63 ish, then back down.

Is there a possibility my CPU could be throttling itself, in the wrong circumstances?
My Cpu is also lapped..

I dont think it's anythink to worry about. When im on prime load if i move the prime windows the screen blinks while im moving them. Only does it on prime never has effected any game or other program, im on vista 64 sp2

Maybe its down to Windows 7 RC.

I get lag on FM2007 where as on Xp it ran fine, I think the RC build isn't as smooth as it can be.

Hmm well i am having stutter in movies and 3d apps, just trying to figure out if its my cpu.
Although i have been told if my cpu was faulty in anyway, id really know about it.

That stutter is usually caused by insufficient graphical performance. Caused in this case because prime is eating up all the bandwidth on the motherboard to access ram, presuming that is the blend test? Try the small ftt test. Also, your ram could be underperforming - which would mean this was not happening before under the same tests but is now. Your motherboard could have changed the settings without your knowledge. It could also be that the cpu's load is taking the power away from your gpu. PSUs tend to not provide as much power when they get old, so thats another reason why it may be present now but wasn't before. There are probably hundreds of other possibilities I havn't touched on - but I have always had that window stuttering when I use prime95 and it hasnt foreshadowed any problems for me, likewise with BigBruiserAl, so I wouldn't be too concerned.

edit:
oh wait you've only just started using p95? Then what do you mean by "although it never did this before"?
Different tasks use different system resources, so one 100% load may be different from another 100% load - like how blend uses more ram but still uses the cpu 100% like the other tests.

nah used P95 loadsa times, ive just seen my windows stuttering etc never had this before.
PSU is fairly new, i previously had 2x4870's and another psu, i had this a while back but i think that was just microstutter, now things have got worse its very noticable oh the fun..
Tried everything to my knowledge, mulitple reformats, also vista 64. etc etc replaced all parts bar mem cpu and mobo. As i dont have acces to any others.

Maybe a cooling issue? I'm guessing you've covered that already.

BTW I'm loving Windows 7, (64bit version)
