My computer acts as if it is overheating during during heavy load. For example, while playing a semi stressful game the FPS will periodically drop down to 15-10 frames per second. The issue appeared after I made the switch to a different motherboard after my old one was fried.
I've tried reinstalling Windows and turning off AMD cool n' quiet, but to no avail.
Specs:
AMD FX-8150
Radeon 7850
Gigabyte 970A-D3
8 gigs of RAM
750 watt PSU

I've turned off Cool and Quiet, C1E, and Core6 State. I couldn't find the other options. All drivers are up to date. The board is rev. 3.0. It still hasn't fixed it, but it seems to have alleviated it a tiny bit.

I've done all that, and still nothing. I don't think it's my GPU, I think it's my CPU.

I don't have an extra CPU, but I have tested it with a different GPU, and the issue persists.

I can guarantee the CPU isn't overheating. I've got a contained liquid cooler, and I recently applied new thermal grease. How would I run memory in Single CHannel mode?

I'm guessing there's nothing I can do?
