In all games that i play my fps will stay stable but then every 15 seconds or so it will drop to about 10. I noticed my cpu temps drop down when it lags is this thermal throttling. Also recently when booting I got a CPU fan error after turning off power supply and back on it worked and continued to work but i noticed lag in game

70 normally and when i lag near 50 C

For AMD, above 62c is considered throttling, so that's likely what is going on here. Check to make sure that your CPU fan is physically working (spinning) and that it speeds up when you're gaming/under load.
