For the past few weeks, I have had weird lag spikes that coincide with CPU temperature drops, from around 65 to 48, when running anything vaguely intensive (e.g. games - ones that I used to be able to run fine).
Tbh I'm totally lost as to why these drops are occurring, especially considering that CPU usage doesn't decrease while they're occurring. I have no idea if the temperature is being decreased by a program, as the CPU does not seem to be running too hot (it never goes above 67). I've attached a speccy report and screenshot from MSI afterburner that shows the pattern. I'm new to posting here so let me know if I should provide more info or if I'm posting in the wrong thread.
