cpus do "burn out"

your friend was wrong however, as cpus get older, or they're damaged by heat, many cases instead of "dying" what happens is they need more vcore.

what might be happening is your cpu is thermal throttling (downclocking because it's too hot) which is causing your games to stutter. Or you could actually be burning the cpu out. i've never seen it before myself, but i've seen the numbers and at high temps and voltages you can break down a modern cpu in less then a year.

I think I'm gonna have to agree with Ingtar, it seems like you damaged the CPU, but there are other factors, what kind of PSU do you use to power your system with? Is it an Intel or AMD based CPU?

Other parts would probably start to slow down/die first, unless you keep it at it's max temperature all day every day.

Although it might start to seem slower as it becomes older tech. and programs start needing more power compared to when you got the cpu

It keeps the cpu cool enough to operate at stock settings, or intel wouldnt be giving it out with their products. But compared to a $30 aftermarket cooler like the hyper 212 evo, yes it is weaker and louder as well, from what I hear. I also havent heard great things about the stock thermal compound intel puts on their coolers. That being said, using an aftermarket cooler breaks the warranty apparently, so that is always something to consider.

That seems insanely hott for a CPU. my 3570k is at 4.4ghz and even during stress tests doesnt even go above 38'C. I have the Hyper 212 evo. Usually if you fry a CPU though it ceases to work at all. Put it back to its default settings in bios and check then.
