Will do. Hopefully that will solve my problem. Thanks for the suggestion!

But I have been getting these temperatures for over a year now, so could be there some specific reason why it's acting odd all of a sudden?

I own an asus gl553ve laptop with an i7 7770HQ and a gtx 1050ti. I recently noticed that games have become unplayable on my usual settings.Opened up task manager and saw that my cpu's clock speed was in and around 1GHz while gaming while it immediately went back to its usual self boosting upto 3.6Ghz when needed. This continued to happen even if my minimum and maximum processor state was set to 100%. Malwarebytes didnt find anything either. Finally gave up and did a fresh install of windows but the issue persists. Here's a couple of intel XTU screenshots: 1. During a stress test: 2. While gaming: It says that my cpu is thermal throttling but i can't understand why the clock speed drops so much while only in games. Any help would be appreciated.
