I have been gaming with my rig happily for quite some time, though recently fps and performance starts dropping after about 20-30 minutes of gameplay (in some games to unplayable levels). I have done some research and found out it might be a heat issue.
I dusted out my case, reapplied thermal paste for both my CPU and GPU, reinstalled GPU drivers as well to no effect.
Then I used CPUID HWMonitor and I see some unusually high temps in TMPIN3 on my motherboard.
So is this an overheating issue? Is something wrong with my motherboard?
UPDATE: I've done some tweaking and these are my newer temps, though performance drop is still present.
