I restarted my computer after my internet was acting up as usual and went to play a game (cs:go) and I was getting 10-15 fps. I then tried fixing it numerous ways not having any luck, I ended up going to play minecraft and have extremely long loading times and once in the game horrible lag.
I then tried a couple other games having the same issue, I tried install anti-virus, detecting nothing. I have updated all my drivers, and even factory reset my entire drive and install everything over again. HWMonitor before playing a game.

It sounds like your CPU is throttling. When a sensor on your motherboard goes bad, it can send a signal directly to your CPU and this can force your CPU to drop down and get stuck at the 8 multiplier. The signal path that goes to the CPU is called BD PROCHOT or bi-directional processor hot. When a sensor sends a signal down this path, the CPU thinks it is too hot even when the CPU temperature is just fine. When a processor is too hot or when it gets this signal, it will be stuck at the 8 multiplier whether it is idle or at full load. ThrottleStop is the only program I know of that lets you disable the BD PROCHOT signal path. As soon as you do this, the CPU usually jumps up to full speed immediately...

The voltage is low because the multiplier is stuck at 8. Your base clock speed is not the problem so do not adjust it in the bios.

Works like usual now. Should I order a new mother board, or is this going to be safe to keep on?

First of all, sorry for slow response, now, about what you asked:
It depends on how old is the motherboard, if it's brand new, RMA it; otherwise I won't spend any money, however, if not a manufacturing fault (silicon lottery), it may indicate the system is working in stress conditions (temperature, energy, humidity, etc) and is likely to fail.
