780ti micro-freezing in newer games

[r42xer]

Around two months ago, I bought a new computer, with these specs:

• 
  EVGA Nvidia 780ti
  Intel i7 4770k 3.5ghz w/ Coolermaster
  8GB Gskill RAM
  Fatal1ty Z87 Killer mobo
  1TB HDD
  256GB SDD
  Windows 8.1

In both BF4 and Titanfall, I keep getting micro-freezes, which last for 1-2 seconds. Occasionally, the game will freeze all together and I have to ctrl-alt-del and end the task manually. Restarting fixes the problem, but it starts up again after a couple of rounds. Could it be a cooling problem? My mobo and case combination forces the fans on the 780ti downwards, away from the case fan. I've recorded temps, and my processor nor my GPU go above 60C. Voltage max is 0.975V for GPU and 1.197 for CPU. Whats going on?

EDIT: Also, it doesn't happen in other games, such as DayZ SA, Sleeping Dogs, BF3

try to check if your drivers are up to date. also, check connections on your monitor and gpu. These might be too hot and may be severed under those conditions.

I am using the latest drivers for everything, and I tried doing clean installs too.

Did you check the cable connectors? Are you using multiple monitors?

It could also be your internet connection.
Both games require an always on internet connection, especially for multiplayer.
If your ping or connection time to the server is bad then you will get what you are describing.
A ping of 500 means you are 1/2 a second behind in gameplay.

Just tried it, doesn't help. And I am on a single monitor, 60hz.

I don't know how to check the ping in Titanfall, but in BF4, my ping is usually <50ms. I have a pretty good internet connection.
