I had similar problems with my CPU. Temps were getting to the high sixties and BF3 would not run over 30fps no matter the settings or the resolution. The problem started with lag and progressed to very low fps in the course of 3 weeks. When I upgraded to a Hyper 212 EVO my temps went down more than 20 degrees and I'm playing BF3 on Ultra again always over 55fps. The problem could be something else but it's a possibility you can't ignore.
