i7 4790k starts to Thermal Throttle at 70*C
So, this is what I see -
In that second image, you aren't CPU thermal throttling, right? You aren't getting higher than 68c, and it says "Thermal Throttling: No", and your average frequency seems pretty even.
But I do see some of your motherboard temperatures in the 90s, which if those are VRM readings, is quite high, but IIRC they are rated at 115 or 125 max (depending on the components, i guess, some more some less), so it could be your motherboard VRM throttling your CPU speed because of its temperatures (that saw in your first original post) if it hits close to those temps.
If you don't have any type of positive airflow over the VRM, try adding some cooling onto the VRM and see if that improves things. Like open up your case and blow a regular house fan or something directly onto the VRM.
See if it still has the same behavior.
