FPS drops down to 15 every 4 minutes in every game

[itgreed]

Hello everybody,

as the title says, I'm having a huge problem which occures in every game. My FPS drop every 2 - 3 minutes for 10 seconds, to 15 fps ! Usually they go from around 60-70 (depending on the game) to ~15, every game behaves like that.

This only seems to happen since I've gotten a brand new r9 270 (asus). I don't think the that the card is faulty. I'm using a secondary monitor with a dvi to d-sub cable but again I don't think that is causing it.

When I touch the case it's pretty got but my GPU is at 50° Celcius max, CPU is under 57 according to Core Temp

I am using an FX8320 and 8GB of RAM and a Seasonic s12ii 520W
Windows 10, tried all kinds of drivers

honestly I'm just happy to finally solve this issue, but if you are curious I can try one cure at a time to see which one solved it but only tomorrow as it is 0:47 AM here and I'm really tired

Most likely the cooling is what fixed it, in which case you'll need to buy some fans. You can of course just buy the fans, leave the power limit up, and thats that. Won't hurt anything.
