Hi,

I am able to play games such as GTA V and Just Cause 3 with high fps 70+ however after about 20 minutes, the framerate drops to <30 and will remain that low on all games until I restart my PC. Are there any suggestions for things that are going wrong?

Kind Regards

I don't think the cooling of the CPU is the issue, as when idle the temperature is 33°C and when gaming is 43°C. I've reduced the minimum and maximum processor states to 99% and so far, I haven't had the above issue.
