Computer FPS lags unless tower is laying down

[Sslick]

Please move if this isnt the right section, this is my first post here.

So 2 months ago I was cleaning out my computer with compressed air, dusted off the PSU, GPU fans, and CPU heat sync, and the case in general. I turned my pc back on and started to notice terrible fps lag inside games, making the games unplayable. After tampering with it for hours, I re-seated everything in the PC, and still no bueno. I noticed that the lag goes away when I lay the PC on it's side. Like the case is laying down. But when i turn the computer case upright, standing like it normally should be is when the FPS lag happens. So the other day I went and bought a new GPU, new PSU, and a case just because. I moved the mobo and everything into the new case, installed the new GPU and PSU. It still occurs, i can ONLY play games when my pc is on it's side, does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this? Please help me. :/

3.5-3.9ghz, shouldn't be higher than 1.2v. These are at load of course.

You are throttling still so not getting a load reading. It's at 1.6ghz. You underlined the specs, not the actual speed.

where is the actual speed? i assume its the "Core Speed" Right?

Ya but if you are overheating like you are, it would be difficult to get a correct load reading. Just go replace the heatsink.
