Not really, the issue is almost certainly that the GPU is producing more heat than the system can clear, thus stress is exactly the issue as 'frame rate' can't cause the GPU to heat up magically. Reducing frame rate when a game has a fixed detail level reduces the amount of work the GPU is doing, that's why it's a viable solution.
