FPS Low in Arma:OA??

It could simply be heat. Dust buildup on video cards and cpu's is entirely normal and will cause it to heat up more over time. Give it a good cleaning and see how it does.

Also just FYI, overclocking can cause permanent damage to your components over time. Particularly when you over volt the item. Basically you are pushing the electricity through the pipes faster, if there is a tiny leak (which isn't all that uncommon) then pushing the power through at extreme speeds will eventually cause it to increase the size of this leaking voltage. Once this pathway has been opened up it cannot be closed again, you will always have the voltage leaking out.

Pushing your OC as hard as possible 24/7 is likely to eventually cause this issue. Most people either push extreme OC's short term for benches, or tone it down slightly for 24/7 use so they are less likely to run into this (though still entirely possible).

Think of this like filling up a 2liter soda bottle with water and punching a tiny hole in the bottom. With no pressure there will be little to no leaking. But put the bottle under pressure and it will shoot water across the room. Do that every day for years and slowly the size of the hole will expand so it leaks a steady stream of water even if you take the away the pressure.
