Lag spikes whenever i use Oculus Link

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but when i try to use my quest 2 with pc via the official oculus link cable, it gives me these intense unplayable lag spikes in games. The desktop and everything works fine, but as soon as i fire up Steam VR and open up a game, it firstly takes forever to load and when it does get in game. The screen freezes often and i see the black edges around. 
Once i tried to play via PC it worked fine but next time i turned on the quest 2, the games were now again laggy. My pc meets the requirements for both the games and VR ready. 
Anyone else got some solution to this?

if the USB C you have is on the motherboard it may not be enough, and would have to try a pci card that then requites you to connect it to the pc`s power supply
