Laptop CPU below base speed under load!!

[ssblank]

Dell 7567. Been experiencing lag in games for a while now. I've recently noticed that my cpu clock speed dips to 1Ghz and below even when I'm plugged in and gaming. This I think has been causing my games to stutter a lot. my temps are good at a maximum of 60 degrees when im gaming. so why is it running below the base clock speed? Please help. cant even play fortnite at medium/high with a smooth 60fps.
specs: GTX 1050, i5 7300Hq @2.5ghz ,8GB RAM

Done the correct power settings for windows, how do I change it in the nvidia control panel?
