    mission failed. i made a new post. ( i shuoldve just reedited this one, opps) anyway. i thought it was throttling gpu for no reason. then i saw my cpu temps where 95C max. so i turned off the overclock and it fixed it... for a night. now its back. i have no idea.

    Maybe you should repaste your CPU...just a thought. I never got anywhere near 95 C in my M17x R4
