    Unit will randomly lag when i play these games, not insanely noticeable but will just happen at about the same frequency in both games. Using the HWinfo fix for throttling and nvidia inspector for overclocking... memory is at 1600 and the clocks are at 730. all my computer specs are in my sig. I also installed the latest drivers from Nvidia with a clean install. any other ideas?

    What are your temps? Are they within acceptable ranges?
