AA was always enabled and vsync has always been off.

I'm not too sure about overheating however because there isnt too much heat coming from the back of the case.

BUT not too long ago i ran into an issue where my computer would just switch off for no reason. This hasn't happened for a while though but i think the frame loss might be at a result of this.

To make matters worse when the issue above occurred, i had to push the f-panel switches in more for the computer to actually boot up again. If not the computer would be dead.

switching of for no reason can be overheat shutdown, get hwmonitor and measure your temps. It can also cause thermal throttling thjerefore performance loss. The amount of heat coming from back of the case has nothing to do with anything overheating.

alright, i'll get back to you when i get time to record under stress etc

and also is it more likely to be the cpu overheating? I'm getting Corsair H105 Water cooling soon
