CPU problem

[Timvdb]

Hello, last time, I'm getting pretty bad frames when I'm gaming. I think it might be thermal throttling but I don't know for sure. Here is a screenshot of msi afterburner: 

If it is thermal throttling, what can I do about this?

What CPU are you using and what cooling you using.

If it's overclocked, you may need to tune it down a bit.

 

If it's not overclocked, then you probably need a new cooler.

 

Either way, I would recommend a new CPU cooler, because if the CPU is throttling, then it's definitely a problem with cooling.

Intel Core i7 6700HQ, I think its the stock cooler. Its a laptop.

You can't tell if a part is thermal throttling by temperature alone. We'd have to see what clock speed and % utilization it was operating at.

Here are the CPU clock speeds, and usages

It's fine. The CPU only turbos to 3.5GHz if one core is heavily used, otherwise it's 3.1GHz if all four are used. However unless it drops below 2.6GHz while under load, I can't call it a thermal throttle condition.

Are you using the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 or does your laptop have dedicated graphics?

I have a dedicated gpu

I enabled on Msi afterburner an option to see the power consumption and when my cpu is above 83° which is verry hot, I can see that the wat consumption go down from 25-30 to 15-20. Does this matter?

Well again, unless the CPU is dropping below 2.6 GHz (which is its base clock speed) under a regular workload, I don't consider it to be thermal throttling.
