So i installed a new CM hyper EVO 212 yesterday on my AMD FX 8320 and its certainly quieter than the stock AMD heat sync however i usually get 60-70FPS on battlefield 4 but after installing this heat sync i get dips every 2mins to 30< FPS its super annoying. I'm not sure if it could be something to do with the thermal paste as this is my first heat sync install but I'm open to answers and suggestions

(CPU runs: 25C idle and 50-60C under full load)
Please help.

Unless it was improperly seated, I don't think it has anything to do with the cpu cooler. Do you monitor your temps during gameplay? If not, you should. If cpu temp doesn't go waaay up before the fps drops, it is related to something else.
