So i have a HP pavilion power 15 and when i first used it a year ago i noticed that it was running half performance on games.  i have tried everything from bios to tweaking voltage and throttle stop ect... but its just stuck at 624mhz and drops to 244mhz every 20 seconds for like 30 seconds its runing like a 300$ laptop and there is no fix apparently even hp doesn't have a answer to this I really need an answer because i cant return it and hp is telling me there is nothing they can do some one with the same problem pleasE!

Are you playing on battery?? A dedicated AMD GPU on battery is going to throttle itself greatly to save power, those 500 series RX cards weren't known for being efficient. 
Plug it in and change the power plan to performance. 

 

 i5 7300HQ came out in Q1 2017 making it nearly 5 years of age. I'd consider disassembling it and doing a repaste and dust cleanout, perhaps the power delivery is overheating and throttling as a result, you won't see the power delivery overheating on your usual stats since it's separate from the GPU/CPU . If the laptop needs to be cleaned out 78c GPU could easily overheat the power delivery. 

 

Don't be scared of this badboy, just some screws on the bottom to take off and everything is readily available. Not one of those laptops that you need to 100% disassemble to repaste.

After looking at a high res teardown photo, I see that the power delivery (circled red) is literally between the CPU and GPU, incredibly easy to overheat. I might consider grabbing an assorted 1-3mm pack of thermal pads from Amazon to try and utilize the bottom plate of the laptop as a heatsink for the power delivery. 

Only 11x Philips screws to remove the heatsink, I'd consider a repaste and maybe a thermal pad mod lol

Dude thank you this is most likely the issue and i was originally gonna do this but you telling me about how easy it is to over heat is true i have to undervolt the gpu and CPU to keep it from overheating and it still does  

i would also like to mention when i first got the laptop when i pluged it in it ran like shit even on performance mode. i noticed that the cpu was at 0.60 mhz and i had to disable prochot for it to work and when i plugged it out it ran like a beast no problems no overheating so probably the charger
