When gaming, or actually while doing anything. My computer sometimes has a big fps drop. It's with something that includes a lot of things like Reddit with RES on image mode, where it has a lot of stuff loaded. Or the simplest games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive, to the larger games like Dying Light.

I've had this problem for quite some time now and I've been researching it, I first thought it was my CPU, so I bought a new cooler. It still happened. CPU is about 30 degrees while playing ANYTHING.
GPU varies around 40 to 60.

Now for my motherboard. I use Open Hardware Monitor to monitor the motherboard.
These are it's normal degrees:

It may be that the readings are wrong. But as you can see the max temperature of the second reading goes up 102 degrees Celsius. This also makes my game's fps drop to 20-30 for 10 seconds to 5 minutes till the degrees is back to 40.

And so the loop continues.

What should I do and what can I do to fix this? Buy a new motherboard? PSU?

This is an image of my specs:

Thank you for your help.
