CPU frequency dropping under load, causing game to lag

mat1998x · Dec 23, 2013

Hi

My CPU frequency drops when playing games. This causes the game to lag for about 10 seconds. What could be the cause of this?

My CPU is: AMD FX 4170

I have not overclocked, and it is only under load this happens.

Check the temps if it's throttling.

When the game is running, when it lags all the cores go up to 100% load.

The temperatures are going up to about 110 degrees.

What should I do?

Buy some thermal paste and reseat the cooler.
