Thermal Throttling Tips?

So, I was able to solve my previous Thermal Throttling issue on my FX 8350 (ASRock Extreme3 R2.0)  Hyper 212 EVO Cooler PC by capping my framerates at 60 FPS, adding 2 fans (One at the front suckin') and one at the back as an exhaust, and moving my PC out of the box that it was in

 

However, now that I have a new 144 hz monitor, this isn't going to work out ,since I need 144 FPS in order for it to reach its full potential. I achieve this by capping my FPS at 201, however, I can play for about an hour - an hour and a half after shutting my PC off for a little while before then, thermal throttling kicks in again. Occurring once every minute or so. Changing my fan speeds do nothing (even with them all full on all the time, and with them working at full once it reaches 45 C, I still thermal throttle...) 

 

What else can I do?

I must mention that my 212 EVO is in horizontally, with the fan at the top of the cooler blowing air over it, and this is not optimal for airflow, do you think reinstalling this could be the solution?

Have you ever thought your motherboard is not a good one? The VRMS' are not good at all. Might look into a new 970a-ud3p from gigabyte.

My board is sitting @ 36 C, there's nothing wrong with it
