So I have just recently purchased the Thermaltake Commander G42 case and Corsair H75 liquid cooler, and after moving everything and installing the new cooler I seem to have run into some problems I haven't before. It seems that my CPU usage will spike to 100% while in game, and I will drop from 70-100 fps to around 30-40 (15 when recording videos or streaming) and I was wondering what might be the cause?

I wasn't overclocking before and didn't change anything now, I double and triple checked and made sure that the liquid cooler was installed properly, my memory is working just fine, and my temps dont go past 63-65 when playing games like Overwatch and 52 in League of Legends, and are around 38C when idle.

Here's a showing in game of the fps drop, recorded with OBS and resolution scaled down.

My specs are:
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
AMD FX 8350 Black Edition
Corsair CX 750 PSU
Corsair H75 Hydro Series Liquid Cooler
Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2x4gb)
XFX Radeon R9 270x

This exactly what happened to my Computer, I just recently bought Thermaltake Core P3 and Frost Flow ID Cooling.
