Thermal Throttling Problem UPDATE !!

[cheap_shot]

Watched all the videos still no solution

When my CPU gets to 60 degrees+ it slows down to half speed

games at 60fps will go to 20fps until cpu goes to 45 degrees

Ive seen many people with higher temp playing games full speed

Tried a few things already

changed power plan , set fan to 100% 

why is my threshold so low !!!!!

 

i7 2600 3.40ghz

stock i5 heatsink(replacing tomorrow!)

Biostar h61mlv3

8gb ddr3 1333

win 10

I think it's the VRM's overheating, but what did you use to check temps? use HWInfo

i use intel tuning to stress test

i use msi afterburner and CPUID HW mon

Your CPU, just like mine, will start throttling around 72˚C. Newer CPUs can handle nearly 100˚C.

 

Blame Intel's design from 10 years ago.

Replacing the stock cooler will help. In your case, if you've never replaced the thermal compound, it likely dried up and no longer conduct heat as well as before, especially after all these years.

im so sad lol

i ordered a coolermaster heatsink 

hopefully shit works

It more than likely will.
Just make sure to clean up the old paste on the CPU with some 99% alcohol, ideally with something like coffee filters since those usually don't leave residue behind

_SYN_ Hit it on the head.  I've just had a look at a picture of your Motherboard.  It's not got a VRM capable of feeding your i7 i'm afraid.  You'll be able to tell if it's the VRMs as the stutter in games will be very consistent like it's hanging for a few seconds then feeding some frames though then hanging again in a steady rhythm (or that's what an old asus board i had did when i loaded it up with my FX 8120)

You sure it throttles at 72C? that's only the Tcase temp which is different than the Tjunction temp, from what i know the i7-2600 will throttle at 98C

project cars drops from 100 to 60 frames so still playable af 

assassins creed origins will be perfect on high till cpu hits 60+ degrees then its 5 - 10 sec of 20fps then back to 45 degrees then the cycle continues

That doesn't sound like CPU throttling, when the CPU throttles it will try to keep the temp just a bit below throttle temp, cooling itself to 45C is excessive, now i'm pretty sure it's the VRM's instead

Yeah it's the VRMs.  You could try those little aluminium sticky RAM heatsinks but other than that there isn't anything you can do.  Never cheap out when buying ITX

well it actually goes to about 48-50

when i do cpu stress with intel extreme tuning the Thermal Throttle thing goes yellow n says Yes lol

Can't say for the 2600 of OP, but I know for a fact that my CPU will start thermal throttling around 72˚C after many days of testing it, getting a stable overclock of 4GHz(no crash with Prime95 for at least an hour), but seeing my performances(cinebench and other benchmarks) be lower than pre-overclock. When investigating why, I found my clock speed dropping hard to 1.2Ghz or lower for a few seconds before going back up over and over, the moment the CPU temps reached above 72˚C.

 

Though for the OP, apparently they don't even reach 60, let alone 72˚C, so it might indeed be their VRM.

on intel stress test it hits 67degrees

UPDATE

 

i installed new version 1903 of windows 10 and now cpu stays below 40 degrees after an hour of csgo which would usually keep it over 60 degrees 

 

any theories ???
