I am running an AMD-8320 at 3.5 GHz; stock speeds. However, when running games that have a fair amount of CPU usage, my CPU heats up to 65 C, which causes it to throttle and set it's clock to ~1.3 GHz for about 5 seconds, about how long it takes to get back to 60 C. This happens every 20 or so seconds, causing my FPS to drop from 60 to less than 10. Any help would be appreciated!
