Well, it's definitely not overheating. Try running normal fullscreen instead of borderless. How are you measuring framerate, by the way?
RAM speed can affect Battlefield 4 quite a bit, so go ahead and try XMP. What memory do you have and what speed is it running at? Actually, you might as well just tell us your system specs.
i get conflicting information from my bios, gigabyte easytune, hwinfo, and CPU-Z. I THINK that my ram is now running xmp 1.3 @ 2133 mhz. With that corrected I am now getting 70-80fps on bf4 ultra @ 1080.

My Bios says my chip is not overclocked, but hwinfo shows it running @ 4.3, as does easytune and cpuz. Bios shows correct ram speed and xmp profile, as does cpuz, but easytune says xmp is off. It's all too confusing lol. The good news is it seems to be running blazing fast.
