I have an old notebook,
32GB RAM
Intel i5-7300HQ
GTX 1050
Firstly, I'm not sure if this is entirely my problem, but I believe that my CPU downclocks itself (to around 1.4 GhZ from 3.0) when it reaches around 70-75C, and I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the throttle limit since it barely touches this limit and doesn't go over the limit, and its very annoying that I cannot play games without the FPS randomly dropping to 25 because my CPU downclocks itself since its literally only breaching the throttle limit by 1 degree. Specifically, the temps would go from around 72C back to 63C, which is when the frames drop. I have tried undervolting the CPU as much as I can as well (around -.150 worth without it crashing), so I am not sure what I can really do to fix this. I am not entirely sure that this is my issue, but I am 99% sure that it is the problem.
