I was able to play dark souls 3 on ultra graphics with no issues and about a month or two ago the game randomly started to freeze and I would see the fps drop to 57 and sometimes to 15 and anywhere in between. So I turned down the graphics to low and to no avail the same issue. I have noticed this same issue on The Forest and league of legends as of lately. I have read many articles on here saying that its not cool enough and that the system is overheating. I downloaded afterburner to see what my temperature was when playing darksouls 3 I even made the fans work on max during some play time. My GPU stays at around 45 to 55 Celsius and my CPU stays at about 50 to 55 Celsius. I have 3 top case fans 2 in front 1 fan in the back and 2 fans on my heat sink which is a hyper 212 I think. Does anyone have an idea on what is causing this? I am unfortunately leaning towards the graphics card is dying. Could this be the case?
Here are my computer specs if it helps. I don't quite remember if this started happening before or after I installed the new SSD could the SSD be an issue?

CPU : intel I7 6700K quadcore 4.0 GHz
