Sorry if this is not the right forum.
My specs (At the office, cant remember the exact specs. ) :
CPU : Core i-7 870
GPU : Zotac GTX 570, Driver Ver. 290.53 (beta)
Ram : 6 GB Corsair (4 GB + 2 GB)
Mobo : Gigabyte P55 series
PSU : 700 W
OS : Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Resolution : 1680x1050
Recently, I had upgraded my GPU to a GTX 570 and I've had no problems since. Previously I had an 8800GT (1 gb). After the GPU upgrade, I ran Skyrim, Crysis, Deus Ex, etc. with ease, no performance/temp issues. Recently, my case fan stopped working so I had it removed and replaced it with a smaller one for the time being, till I get the exact size. It was 120 mm I think. For a while, everything was fine but now, almost every game stutters horribly after the first few minutes of gaming and I cant play without turning VSYNC on. I know for sure its not lag and not due to low FPS. Fraps shows the frames well over 60 (in Skyrim for instance, outdoors) but the stutter is way too much. I tried another less demanding game, DC Universe Online and lo.....stutter again after a few minutes of play. I turned VSYNC on in all the games and now its perfect. I do get a bit of mouse input lag in FPS games like Skyrim, Crysis, etc. Need suggestions for some way to either reduce input lag with VSYNC on or to eliminate stutter.
One thing to note....my GPU temps are always under 80 degrees but my CPU reaches 99!! O___O (well, at least 2 or 3 cores, the rest about 96-97 degrees). This didn't happen a couple months ago. I got the CPU/heatsink/fan cleaned too but no use. The games run normally. Should I be worried?
TLDR: I cant play games without turning VSYNC on. Need suggestions for alternatives or some way to reduce mouse input lag with VSYNC on.
