Some folks are experiencing 'i5 stuttering' in some of the latest cpu-intensive games...

CHeck out HWMonitor, and make sure your CPU temps are under control...

Do some research to see if other folks might be experiencing 'i5 stutter' in some titles...

Drop CPU and GPU overclocks by a little, until we figure out what is going on...
