so every 5 ish seconds my game will freeze for 0.5-1 second, its been doing this for the past couple days.
things ive tried
verifying game files
reinstalling
getting rid of fps config
trying mastercomfig
getting rid of my hud
changing resolution
none of this has fixed it. anything else i should check/do?
also here are the specs for my pc

is this caused by then intel security thingy i have no idea might want to check that.
is this due to a ping thing / packet jitter?
net_graph 4 I think and look too see what's happening. Google to know how to use it

It could also be a heating issue; if your processor or GPU is overheating it'll cause things to slow down. I mean it's stupid to say, but also if your computer hasn't been restarted in days/weeks that could contribute as well.

i turn off my pc fully every night, looking at my task manager my cpu is reaching max 40% usage while playing so i dont think its overheating(?)

heres a video of me playing with net_graph 4. i have no idea what im looking at but someone here might

Usage doesn't necessarily denote that heating isn't an issue. Essentially what happens is when your OS detects that you're trying to start a fire and will throttle down your CPU to keep it from bursting into flames. The main thing being that you *would* see high CPU usage after prolonged gaming session because your OS would slow down the works a bunch, but once you relieved the stress it would stop the throttling and usage % would fall, potentially substantially. It's always good to have a clean - I shoot for once a month.
Monitoring software is freely available and it's good to have a peek every once and a while just to make sure everything is in tip top shape - like OHM or CoreTemp or even ol' Speedfan.
There was a case on this forum AGES ago where Crespi was having some pretty intense performance issues and discovered that his manufacturer (MAC) had poured a 1/2 pound of thermal paste onto his CPU, causing massive overheating and shmoo to go all over his MOBO lol.
It could also be a background application doing something really stupid, or malware of some form or another sucking up CPU intermittently.
I couldn't really see that well in the video as your FPS was pretty highly variable and it did dip to ~80 that I could see a bit, but it's also possible that you're on some kind of shared internet connection and it's experiencing intense momentary lag (like when a video buffers), but I didn't notice your ping # jumping up a ton (which it could in such a case) - though if you're on wireless you could get similar hang if somebody nearby used a microwave or a cell phone.

Got a cpu monitoring program and it looked like this while playing https://i.imgur.com/2ZnGj8k.png
im guessing thats bad, should I reapply thermal paste or something? I built this pc around 15 months ago.

That is definitely bad. It could be a thermal paste issue, could be that your cooler isn't functioning properly. I had a fan die on a cpu cooler a while back so make sure that's working. Do you have any pets? Cat/dog hair can clog computer radiators incredibly fast sometimes.

Do you clean your system regulary? Even usual dust can accumulate to a point where heat can't exit your case properly.

alright taking a can of pressurized air to my cpu seems to have rectified the stuttering for now. temps in game are still around 80c and idle temps are like 50c, i think ill pick up some new thermal paste soon.

There is a lot that could be going on besides the thermal paste.
You could have wonky fan set up (sometimes more air isn't better) look at a few guides on case air flow and see if you've got something similar, it could be that a pocket of hot air is forming over your CPU and then is getting sucked into the cooler, and not cooling as much as it should.
It could be that the case fans can't suck in enough air (if you have the PC inside of a cabinet or shoved into the corner or tons of crap piled all around it)
It could just be excessively dirty.
It could be that the fan is failing to spin enough or that the heatsink is still clogged with dirt.
The thermal paste could also be an issue (a little dab will do ya' a big gob will screw ya').
On the bright side, CPU coolers are cheap for the most part; and if you do reseat it you'll have a good opportunity to clean the whole thing, but it would still be a good idea to take a look at it while it runs or especially look into replacing it or oiling it if the fan is excessively noisy.
